Facebook GroupThis is a highlight destination for those that are brave enough to kayak on Lake Superior. Rugged and a good size, this would be a great roadside waterfall! Alas, some places have to be reserved for people that are willing to work for a reward. Few of us will ever see this waterfall in person.
The falls is a long cascade, generally in a fan shape. During lower flows, the river snakes through the lowest points in the rock face. At the base of the falls, a broad outrcop of glacially polished bedrock sports a conspicuous set of glacial striations. These are deep grooves made in rock by stones that were dragged along by the ice.
Kayaking to Denison Falls isn't for everyone. This is no novice trip. The trip from Michipicoten harbour is 25 km each way, and the falls themselves are 2 km up-river from the lake. This requires several niights of campling, including a waypoint along the way.
And to complicate things further, Lake Superior has a way of throwing a wrench into even the most meticulous of plans. The best way to visit this falls is to sign up for one of the guided excusions offered in the area.
