This photo is of the Upper Falls waterfall in the Tahquamenon Falls State Park. I stood on the north side of the Tahquamenon River to get this shot. I recommend driving to the park and then parking in the lot at the Upper Falls. You'll have to walk about 1/3 of a mile down a paved road and then you will see this view – just follow the GPS to get to the exact spot where I stood.
