Tahquamenon Falls
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tahquamenon_Falls an entity of type: WikicatWaterfallsOfMichigan
Les chutes Tahquamenon ou chutes du Tahquamenon sont deux chutes d'eau différentes sur la rivière de Tahquamenon. Toutes les deux sont situées près du lac Supérieur dans la partie orientale de la péninsule supérieure de l'État américain de Michigan. Les chutes supérieures ont plus de 60 mètres de largeur et un dénivelé d'approximativement 15 mètres. Au cours des dernières semaines de printemps, la rivière vidange au moins 200 000 litres d'eau par seconde, ce qui en fait la deuxième chute d'eau par son débit à l'est du fleuve du Mississippi, après les chutes du Niagara.

The Tahquamenon Falls (/təˈkwɑːmiːnɑːn/ tuh-KWAH-mee-nahn or /təˈkwɑːmənən/ tuh-KWAH-muh-nuhn) are a series of waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River, shortly before it empties into Lake Superior, in the northeastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. They are the largest waterfalls in Michigan, and one of the largest in the eastern half of North America. The water is noticeably brown in color from the tannins leached from the cedar swamps which the river drains, leading to the nickname "Root Beer Falls". The falls are within Tahquamenon Falls State Park, between the towns of Newberry and Paradise, and are a popular tourist destination during all seasons.

Les chutes inférieures, situées 6,5 kilomètres en aval, sont une série de cinq petites chutes cascadant autour d'une île qui peut être atteinte en petit bateau. Un sentier de randonnée existe entre les chutes le long de la rive. Les chutes sont dans le (Tahquamenon Falls State Park), entre Newberry et Paradise. Elles sont une destination touristique populaire dans la péninsule supérieure pendant toute l'année.

The Tahquamenon Falls (/təˈkwɑːmiːnɑːn/ tuh-KWAH-mee-nahn or /təˈkwɑːmənən/ tuh-KWAH-muh-nuhn) are a series of waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River, shortly before it empties into Lake Superior, in the northeastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. They are the largest waterfalls in Michigan, and one of the largest in the eastern half of North America. The water is noticeably brown in color from the tannins leached from the cedar swamps which the river drains, leading to the nickname "Root Beer Falls". The falls are within Tahquamenon Falls State Park, between the towns of Newberry and Paradise, and are a popular tourist destination during all seasons. The falls are divided into the Upper and Lower Falls. The Upper Falls consist of a single drop of approximately 48 feet (15 m), where the river is more than 200 feet (60 m) across. During the late spring runoff, the river drains as much as 50,000 US gallons (190,000 L) of water per second, making the Upper Falls the third most voluminous waterfall east of the Mississippi River, after Niagara Falls and Cohoes Falls. The Lower Falls is located about 4 miles (6.4 km) downstream, and consist of five smaller falls cascading around an island. The island can be reached by rowboat from the basin below the Lower Falls, or by a foot bridge constructed in 2022. The Upper Falls are located at 46°34′29″N 85°15′23″W / 46.57472°N 85.25639°W, and the Lower Falls are at 46°36′12″N 85°12′25″W / 46.60333°N 85.20694°W. The falls take their name from the river, which appears to come from Tahquamenon Island in Whitefish Bay, near the mouth of the river; the first written record of the name identifies the island as "Outakouaminan" in a 1671 French map. The Tahquamenon River is mentioned by name in Longfellow's 1855 epic poem The Song of Hiawatha, as the protagonist builds a birch-bark canoe "In the solitary forest, By the rushing Taquamenaw". A song by Sufjan Stevens on his album Michigan is titled after Tahquamenon Falls.
