Douglass Houghton Falls in Upper Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula features a drop of over 100 feet (not pictured here). There are two main falls, the one pictured here, and the 100 foot drop which occurs slightly to the right of the fall pictured here.

Unfortunately, due to erosion and safety issues, access to Douglass Houghton Falls has been closed off. Luckily, I know the owners of the property that abuts one side.
