Twin Falls is located in the town of Port Wing Wisconsin, about a mile from the shores of Lake Superior. Larson Creek has carved a short, but impressive gorge through the sandstone. This is the same rock responsible for the sea caves found at the Apostle Islands. There are two drops, but they are not really twins. The lower drop is about 12 feet high, and is a plunge. The upper drop is a steep cascade that is just a few feet high.

The falls is located in a small park just west of Port Wing off of Highway 13. The signage is not easy to see if you are heading west. The park consists of a couple of parking spots, and trails to the falls. You can hike up the creek to reach the falls. You might get your feet wet. Along the way you will pass a "sea cave" where the creek has carved out the gorge wall.

There is a viewing platform above the falls on the left from which you can get an impressive view of the gorge, but not a very good view of the falls. A staircase ascends the right side of the orge, and the trail continues upstream along the gorge rim to the upper falls. It is possible to cross the creek above the upper falls, but it requires lifting yourself over some rock.

Larson Creek is not very big, but there was still water flowing here near the end of July. Like any waterfall, I am sure it is more impressive in the spring.

The smaller Siskiwit Falls is 16 miles to the east, and Lost Creek Falls is 2 miles south of that. The low, wide and partially dammed Orient Falls is 6 miles to the west. Amnicon Falls is 40 miles to the west. Copper Falls State Park, Superior Falls, Potato Falls, Wren Falls and many other are within 80 miles to the east.
