“Niagara of the North”

Located 25 minutes west of Thunder Bay, Kakabeka Falls is nicknamed “Niagara of the North” as the falls are just 11m shorter than world-famous Niagara Falls.

 

Located at the falls is a boardwalk but the wilderness is mostly untouched allowing viewers to see millions of years of erosion at work.
