Facebook GroupWith one of the best waterfall names in this collection, this rapids can be seen if you feel like a hike after visiting Zevely Rapids. It is located 1.5 km south of the bridge at Zevely Rapids. It is not a high falls, by any means, but the river usually has a decent flow, making it worthy of a stop. If you see anyone else around, be sure to yell out 'Wanatango!'
This waterfall is coded yellow because it is somewhat remote. At the same time, it isn't far removed from the road network. An interpretive sign has been erected at Zevely Rapids, so the authorities expect you to visit.
From Hwy 11, visitors drive west on Potter Rd and continue west on Rheame Esker Rd. This eventually reaches the bridge at Zevely Rapids on the Frederick House River.
On the east side of the bridge, and south side of the river, a trail leads into the woods from a wide gravel area on the side of the road. This travels parallel to the river but is often 100 m east of it. A secondary trail splits off to reach the rapids. A second, smaller rapids is found halfway between the two aforementioned rapids.
