This is one of a number of waterfalls around the Manitouwadge area. Some of these falls are awesome! Others are good, and still others are quite small (eg. rapids), but still picturesque. Finding these waterfalls is a challenge, however, and not for inexperienced adventurers.
The Town of Manitouwadge put out a guide pamphlet a number of years ago. It is still available online at https://www.manitouwadge.ca/tourism/attractions/waterfalls-rapids/ This includes directions to all of the falls.
The problem here is that many of the roads outside of Manitouwadge are of poor quality. Some are overgrown or flooded out. Some are no longer visible on even the province's high resolution aerial photography. So you can't just get in your car and follow these routes. An SUV, jeep or truck are necessary, and even then, you may need to hike or ATV the last several kilometres.
At this point, I don't have any information or photos to share about this waterfall. I haven't bothered to attempt to supply directions or parking information. Further information is needed about the route. If you have visited and have information or photos to share, please let me know.
This site is coded yellow because the route requires visitors to have the right vehicle and experience to manage these bush roads. Some of the roads around Manitouwadge are in questionable condition. Cell service is spotty, at best.
