Bridal Veil Falls is along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, about 1.5 miles from Miner's Beach. It is a long slide that drops straight into Lake Superior. It is probably best seen from the water, although you can hike to it. According to the topographic maps the cliffs are over 160 feet high at the point the trail crosses above the falls. The falls slides directly into the lake for a total drop of at least 140 feet making this the tallest waterfall in Michigan.
In May 2005 there was no water going over the falls even though all the other waterfalls in the area were flowing nicely. In May 2006 there was some water, but not a lot. I heard that beavers have dammed the creek, reducing its flow.
