This small waterfall is found where Wilike Lake Drains to Mikel Lake. The falls occur on a isthmus between the two lakes. An area about 50 m wide has been stripped of soil and vegetation by high flows. Anyone visiting the falls in summer is likely to see a much narrower show.
The falls is only accessible by water. A convenient place to put your boat in the water is likely the Laurentian Lodge. Be sure to call ahead to ensure that they accept people using their property for this reason. A bonus is that there is a waterfall at the lodge (see entry for Laurentian Lodge Falls). From here, the route travels about 2.5 km west to the outlet of Mikel Lake.
