Located in Kakabeka Provincial Park, are the second highest waterfalls in Ontario with a drop of 40 m. They are truly magnificent and worth a stop at any time of the year. The force of the falls created a basin at the bottom of the falls which is popular for swimming in the summer. In winter, you’ll likely have the falls to yourself.

The views are very different so if you have the time be sure to view the falls from all angles. There are several areas to enjoy a picnic near the falls as well. The park is also home to a variety of wildlife, including beavers, otters, deer, and moose.
