Thunder Bay Falls, Illinois, United States
4.0 (131 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #10 in Galena Waterfalls
Beautiful falls
Even though this is a private property we did not see anyone enforcing anything. What we did see though was a very packed, small parking lot and people taking a few pictures and quickly leaving. Waterfall is pretty!

Short and beautiful
Thunder bay falls is a small spot kinda secludedm it is very tranquil and small. Would recommend to check out if in area. Just watch out for the road it is not pavement but grovel and alot of curves. Good place to talk and just enjoy nature and possibly fish.

Manmade water falls but beautiful no less
Galena is quiet and filled with bird sounds so finding these falls was a nice auditory change of pace. It's easy to get to from town and while signs do say "guests only" (as indicated by other reviewers) we're not sure what that means since you can drive right up to them. We parked and walked down a short path (2 actually) and just stood there enjoying the beauty of the falls and watching the swallows whip around and alight on the fence to feel the water's spray. A lovely break on a hot day. Worth a trip and look.
