This set of cascades occurs along a short channel where Perreault Lake drains to Wabaskang Lake. The Hwy 105 bridge crosses right above the top of the falls. The uppermost cascade is immediately downstream of the lake. A second falls is located about 100 m downstream, just before the river dumps into Wabaskang Lake.
There aren't many photos of this waterfall available online. Do you have one that you could contribute?
I haven't visited this site, but have been told that there is parking in a gravel area on the north side of Hwy 105, east of the bridge. This is across the highway from the Nordic Point Lodge. The dirt road leads to a boat launch on Wabaskang Lake, just 300 m to the north. All of the area north of the highway is shown as Crown Land.
About 30 down the road there is a dirt path on the left that leads to the river. This will reach the upper part of the falls. The lower falls are about 100 m further downstream. I suspect that there is a trail through the woods along the river. If not, it is probably possible to continue further down the road and watch for a trail to the left. This site is about 45 mins north from Hwy 17.
