Our Responsibility

Please don't trespass, don't litter, and stay on the trail.

A small but photographable waterfall, about 1 km upstream from the large parking lot for the Chikanashing Trail. It is found under a small footbridge. I used to show this waterfall as being right beside the parking lot, but that was an error. The waterfall beside the parking lot is much smaller, and now called Chikanashing Slide.

I learned from reading Gary LeClair's Facebook Page, 'Waterfalls of Northern Ontario', that there is a second falls about 50 m downstream. It is narrower and not quite as steep, but still attractive. It can be seen on the aerial photography

The parking coordinates are approximate, and I don't know if you can park along this road. Given the presence of the footbridge, there is probably a trail leading straight from the road on the right side, when driving south from Hwy 637. The falls are only about 50-60 m west from Chikanishing Rd
