There is easy access to both the Tahquamenon River and Lake Superior. If you plan ahead, you can reserve one of the riverside campsites and just slide your watercraft into the river. You can travel a very long way before you encounter the lower falls, and catch plenty of small walleye. Accidentally, my dog and I went ashore right where there was a trailhead for the North Country Scenic Trail. It looked well marked, though quite rustic, and ran alongside the park for quite a while. The Rivermouth Campground is about 14 miles from the upper falls. We stopped there on the way home. It was OK and real touristy, but we prefer access to the river, so were happy with our choice of campgrounds. It was fully booked so was quite busy, though the river was nice and quiet. The showers and restroom building is very new and modern.
