Iron Bridge ...
One of the landmarks at Deer River State Forest is the Iron Bridge on Conservation Road, home to a designated campsite right on the river. There is some pretty impressive white-water on this section of the Deer River. I wouldn't call it a waterfalls, though it is pretty much that.

More about Deer River State Forest...
Nestled within the sprawling 12,273-acre expanse of Deer River State Forest is a rugged outdoor haven, boasting minimal developed amenities. The defining feature of this forest is the Deer River itself, weaving through a captivating network of interconnected wetlands and tributaries. Its rapids, waterfalls, open flat waters, and expansive marshes bestow upon the state forest an untamed allure.
Deer River State Forest provides nine designated campsites, each marked with distinctive yellow and black "Camp Here" indicators. These sites, strategically positioned along public forest access roads and the Deer River, offer a primitive and undeveloped character. Typically consisting of a cleared area and a stone fire ring, these sites are accessible by vehicle, facilitating convenient parking. However, it's important to note that amenities such as bathroom facilities, running water, and electricity are not available at these sites. The campsites, scattered across Conservation PFAR and Avery Lot PFAR, invite visitors to embrace the simplicity of nature.
One notable trail is the 0.6-mile Beaneville Trail, commencing at the Webster Mills PFAR and tracing the scenic path along the Deer River. Additionally, a network of unpaved roadways and unmarked trails offers opportunities for recreation in a pristine, undeveloped setting.
