Description

This is a 60 acre Bad River riverfront property that contains a campground booked through Hipcamp.com but I want to offer pup owners a spot where they can hike off-leash along the river to multiple waterfalls. If your pup is aggressive with other dogs or people please keep them leashed. Follow the signs to the campsite parking for “Bad River Point”, “Balsam Shores”, and “Cayuga Falls” campsites and beginning your hike from there. Follow the signs to waterfalls #1 and #2. If you follow all the signs to the waterfalls it will be about 1 mile of total hiking. If you’d like to see more pictures of the area or reserve a campsite, here’s where you’d do that: https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/land/wisconsin-bad-river-wilderness-3r57h2n8?adults=1&children=0

We LOVED this sniffspot!! Favorite one so far. Beautiful waterfalls, rugged but easy hike to them, very easy marked trails. Our dogs loved it! :)

I’m a retired Air Force Veteran with amazing land on the Bad River with cool hiking trails to private waterfalls. Pups love hiking through the woods with no leash required.
