Facebook GroupThis impressive waterfall is big, nasty and difficult to reach. It is located along the border with the United States. If you have a passport, save yourself the trouble and visit from Minnesota. The drive is just 30 minutes past the border at Hwy 61. A trail on the American side is much easier and only several hundred metres long.
On the Canadian side, things are a totally different story. Access requires a true Jeep that can drive about 10 km of poor quality back "roads". Even then, there is a long hike of several km involved.
A few members of our Facebook group have visited this site, but in each case, I consider them to be more extreme adventurers. I would defintely not try this route on my own. My SUV wouldn't handle it.
