Bridalveil Falls is a waterfall in Alger County, Michigan. Height has not been officially recorded. Access details and conditions have not yet been verified in person by Fallspots — the data on this page comes from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Bridalveil Falls is a seasonal waterfall located at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan. From H-58 from Munising it can be reached by going east 4.5 miles (7.2 km) to Miners Castle Road, then going 5 miles (8.0 km) to the Castle. It can be seen from afar from here. It can also be seen from the lake in a boat, or hiking on the Lakeshore Trail.
Is the water flowing right now?
Most waterfall sites don't tell you this. The waterfall itself is almost never gauged, but a USGS streamgage in the same watershed can tell you whether snowmelt has started, peaked, or run dry.
