Piers Gorge is a scenic gorge carved out by the Menominee River. It is named for natural rocky "piers" that the river tumbles over, resulting in four sets of rapids, some of which could be classified as low falls. A 3 mile out and back hike takes you past a number of rapids and small falls on the wide Menominee River.
