Pattison State Park
A Wisconsin state park whose Big Manitou Falls, about 50 meters high, is the tallest waterfall in the state.
Pattison State Park lies about 20 kilometers south of the city of Superior, across the bay from Duluth. Its highlight is Big Manitou Falls on the Black River, which drops about 50 meters. A viewing platform is just a few minutes’ walk from the parking lot. Upstream are Little Manitou Falls and lakes where swimming is allowed. As a Wisconsin state park, it requires a state park vehicle permit. It is about a 30-minute drive from Duluth, and you can visit it on the same day as Amnicon Falls.
