Facebook GroupThe Quetico Falls Chain is a well-known, multi-day paddling route. It leads paddlers past a series of small to medium waterfalls. If you like back-country camping and waterfalls, this is something to look into! It involves a number of portages and while not for the inexperienced, it can be managed by paddlers with experience in multi-day trips.
This entry and map marker do not point to any specific waterfall, but instead talk about the chain as a whole. Some of the waterfalls in the chain will have their own entries; I am still seeking photos and details of the others.
The route usually starts at Saganagons Lake. It passes, in order from east to west, Four Falls, Baldrock Falls, Little Falls, Koko Falls, Canyon Falls, Kennebas Falls. None of these waterfalls are monsters, but all of them can be deadly and must be portaged. There are additional small rapids. This is beautiful, untouched north country.
This 'site' gets 4 stars, not for the size of any particular waterfall, but for the fact that this would be a memorable adventure for anyone that likes waterfalls.
