The ice got kind of fat in the last month, too bad...

Description 

Terraced ice wall, not sure if the falls itself ever freezes.


Getting There 

Stay left after the entrance station and after a mile or so there is a parking turn off on the right with a sign to Stephens Falls. VERY short walk to the top of the falls. Jump the creek to the left to set a TR.

Featured Route For Stephens Falls
Frozen Main Flow

Orange Peel WI2-3  WI : Governor Dodge State Park : ... : Stephens Falls
The main flow freezes and occasionally makes for a few good lines. You can hear the water flowing under the ice which comes in like a peel. Sometimes about 10 feet of barely overhung ice can be climbed on the far left side of the falls. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in WI

A picture of the the terraced climbing on Feb. 27, 2010. The falls has not frozen, and is just out left of the picture. The climbs, if divided in quarters L to R, are easy, medium, hard, hard -, with nothing over WI3 from my understanding

With increased traffic at G Dodge please respect the trees at the top of the Stephens Falls and try keep as many people as possible off the upper area to set TRs. The park staff is very friendly to let us all climb here and they are concerned about unofficial trails being created. Leave no trace!
