Warner Falls
Visible from the main road in Palmer, Warner Falls is a sharp fanning drop over dark rocks that pours into a swampy creek. A few small upstream drops sit underneath the thick brush before the main, exposed waterfall.
Directions
Warner Falls is on the south side of Palmer, right along M-35 on a wide curve. A small blue sign marks them (and they are visible from the road). The bank is somewhat steep but not terribly hard to climb down for a closer view.

Warner Falls is not a terribly impressive spot to visit. It's visible from the roadside, maybe eight feet tall, and the creek is not much larger than Reany Falls. Yet it was an easy stop that took mere minutes and also brought us close to the giant heaps of poor rock from the iron mine.
Warner Falls is a pretty little roadside drop just south of Palmer. There is a wide shoulder to park on and, while the drop is visible from the road, a few paths leading down for a closer view. While the waterfall was pretty to look at, a fanning drop over solid rock, I couldn't help but feel the nearby mines overbearing presence. The piles were visible from the creek, the vegetation looked sickly, and the water was too foamy and stunk.
