Some of the Forest's most popular trails are located in the Black River Harbor area; approximately 15 miles north of Bessemer and Ironwood in Gogebic County. These trails provide access to Great Conglomerate, Gorge, Potawatomi, Sandstone, and Rainbow Falls and range in length from 1/4 to 1-1/2 miles. All trails descend rather steeply from the rim of Black River Gorge to overlook points. To ensure your safety, stay on designated trails and observe all regulations. Because of its unique character, the trail that serves Potawatomi and Gorge Falls was designated a National Recreation Trail in 1978. Developments along it include stairways and observation platforms that overlook the Black River and the two waterfalls. A barrier-free access leading from Gorge Falls parking lot to Potowatomi Falls, provides a unique viewing opportunity for people with disabilities. There is also a picnic area. Large, old growth hemlock, white pine, and hardwood timber add to the area's beauty.
