Description
Dave's Falls is a popular park within Marinette County. It features a spectacular waterfall, picnic area with playground, trout fishing, a bridge over the Pike River, and numerous high quality granite outcroppings. Adjacent to the county park property is an abandoned quarry on public land. The quarry is popular with park visitors and hosts some of the best bouldering in the area.
The quarry was once known as the "Aberdeen Quarry" and was owned by the Amberg Granite Company in the late 1800's. It produced the iconic "Amberg Red" granite, which was used in Chicago for curbing blocks and street paving. It was also used for buildings such as, the Minnesota State Capitol, and buildings in Chicago and Cincinnati.
A $5 day pass is required starting May 1st of each year or an annual sticker can be purchased for $20. Visit the Marinette County website for details.
