Best time to visit: Miners Falls
The best show comes after a wet spell. Around Munising the most rainy days fall in January, October and November (about 9 per month). March is the driest month with about 4 rainy days, so smaller falls can thin out then. From November to April average lows are 12 to 29 °F. Spray turns to ice on rocks and steps, so traction cleats are worth packing.
