Morgan Falls St. Peter's Dome Recreation Area

This recreation area features two popular trails - one leading to the 70-foot high Morgan Falls and the other to a scenic overlook at the top of St. Peter's Dome.

The trail to Morgan Falls features an accessible trail with boardwalk and bridge that is nearly .75 miles one-way. The area was devastated during the 2016 flood event which washed out the parking area and a majority of the trail. The parking area was moved to a more sustainable location and the trail has been rebuilt to withstand future rain events. Minor construction will be occurring during the spring of 2019. A vault toilet is located in the parking lot.

The trail to St. Peter's Dome is nearly 2 miles one-way and is fairly rugged with exposed rocks and steep slopes. From the top, is a breathtaking view of Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands.

There is a $5 day use pass for this recreation site. The Forest also has an annual pass available for $30.
