Just a note regarding the name ...

Waterfall / Large Drop46.67098, -88.31458

Description

I have also heard boaters refer to this as the 'Yooper Silver' (a take-off on both 'upper' and the common term for residents of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as 'Yoopers' -- U.P.-ers).

My naming here is a take-off on both the convention of designating a section '0' (zero) upstream of what had previously been labeled numerically as section 1, and with a nod to the old old TV series 'The Lone Ranger' (ok, showing my age here) which had the masked hero astride his horse, Silver. The horse reared up ready to gallop off, and the voice-over exclaimed '... Hi-Oh, Silver . . . Away!' (As in the intro from the premier episode in 1949, courtesy of YouTube.) https://youtu.be/P14QXRA0PHM
