Tibbets Falls is a series of three to four foot drops. From US 141/M-28 about 2 miles west of Covington go north on Plains Road, a blacktop road, for about 3 miles to the Sturgeon River, shown below right. Continue past the river a short distance until Plains Road takes a sharp right turn. There is a post at this spot where a trail road continues straight ahead. Take the trail road for about .2 miles to a fork (you will pass another tail road on the left). Take the left fork for about .5 mile to what appears to be a parking area and the end of the road and the beginning of a trail. Park there and walk down the trail. The trail is an easy, short walk down the hill from the trail road to the river and the falls. There are blue diamonds on the trees to mark the trail.
