sign about the River of Timber at Agate Falls

Agate Falls are located on the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon River east of Bruce Crossing on M-28. Agate Falls offers the best rainbow trout fishing around. In fact, the stretch of river between Bond Falls and Agate Falls is often described as the most productive trout stream in Ontonagon County and quite possibly in the entire Upper Peninsula.

It is also one of the most beautiful cascading falls in all of Upper Michigan. The falls are created as the river drops over an extended shelf of sandstone ledges. The resulting waterfall is a broad band of interlacing cascades and small falls nearly 40 feet high.
