Elliot Falls is a small waterfall of two short drops at the far eastern end of Miners Beach, where the beach meets the cliffs. This extremely picturesque waterfall flows onto water-sculpted rocks and then into Lake Superior. The beauty of the surrounding scenery of lake, shoreline, and forested cliffs makes this gem of a waterfall very popular with visitors.

A short walk from the small parking lot at the eastern end of Miners Beach Road leads to a staircase down to the sand. Elliot Falls is a couple of hundred yards down to the right. Or you can park at the larger lot at the western end of the road and walk the beach to the falls. Leashed pets allowed.
