The waterfalls are listed by the state of Michigan as the Bond Falls Scenic Site.
There is a newer walkway that extends across the river below the base of the falls that allows for perfect viewing.
The river drops 875 feet (267 m) down from Bond Falls Flowage, which is perched on the highlands of the western Upper Peninsula, to Lake Superior.
Bond Falls is not a natural waterfall, it has been changed by a nearby dam built by the Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO).
The Ontonagan River and Bond Falls Flowage are separately stocked with brook trout.
