This narrow cascade is just 15 km from Norland but may as well be on a different continent. But this is why the Queen Elizabeeth WIldlands Provincial Park is so cool. Real northern wilderness, not far from civilization.

There is no road nearby and the only access is by water. It appears that you could paddle upstream for about 10 km from Head Lake. This would be a tortuous route and I have no information about whether this is practical
