Kakabeka Falls

Wow. And I didn't even know Kakabeka Falls existed.



They call it "Niagara du Nord," and for good reason, as it's only 13m more shallow than Niagara Falls, although the amount of water that flows over the falls is quite a bit less.



It's 70m across by 40m deep. If you're ever around Thunder Bay, go the extra 30 km outside town to see this. They've got a great information centre at which you can learn the history of the falls, and the significant role the river that leads into it played in the formation of our country (specifically the use during the rise and fall of the fur trade).
