Facebook GroupThis is a low, long, trough waterfall, pronounced "K-ni-flee Falls". Like most falls of this shape, it isn't as photogenic as others, but is easy and interesting to visit.
The Magnetawan River flows north out of Ahmic Lake (located just to the north of the falls) tumbles over (more correctly, through) the falls and then continues east to its outlet at Georgian Bay, about 75 km to the west. Another outlet from Ahmic Lake is on private property.
The total fall here is probably less than 5 m, and is spread over a long stretch of close to 100 m of bubbling, boiling waters. Well, the waters bubble and boil at higher flow, but visiting in mid- to late-summer will bring a more tranquil experience. The short little road leading south from Hwy 520 ends at the dam at the head of the falls, and allows visitors to park and view the falls.
