Facebook GroupA long falls of medium slope, it twists and turns a few times before spilling out to calmer waters below. This is found about 200 m north (upstream) of a wide cut made for hydroelectric transmission towers. I've been told that you that the road up to the hydro line can be travellled by most moderate to higher-clearance cars.
NOTE: This is a rough road that may deteriorate at times; please manage your expectatoins. VIsitors either choose to park where the road meets the hydro cut, or try to drive the rougher route down towards the river.
This waterfall is coded yellow because I don't have information on the road surface. I do not believe that this is an extreme site to visit; the hydro tower corridor should make it easy to keep your bearings. Many backroads in northern Ontario are not well-maintained. Anyone choosing to follow this road does so at their own risk.
NOTE: the parking directions would lead you to the start of the trail route through the hydro corridor. If this is not acceptable for driving, the hike along the corridor is only about 750 m. The falls are about 200 m upstream once you reach the river.
