About this swimming hole
Memorial Falls hides in a fern-draped grotto just outside Munising, its twin cascades slipping through rock overhangs like a natural shower. A short hike from the parking lot on Nestor Street leads to the falls and its shallow base pools. It is more of a cool-off-and-wade stop than a full swim, but the setting is pure UP magic.
