There’s something so mesmerizing about the sight of water tumbling over a cliff into a calm pool below. If you can’t miss the opportunity to see a majestic waterfall, High Falls at Pigeon River Provincial Park must be on your list.
The dramatic falls stand at a whopping 28 metres high, making it one of the tallest in Ontario.
Believe it or not, Ontario shares this waterfall with the U.S. state of Minnesota.
The 2 km loop trail to the falls takes you along a historic logging road and is about one hour round-trip.
Along the way, you’ll get to enjoy a view of Pigeon River’s steep walled gorge and visit the old chimney site, says Ontario Parks.
There are some steep stairs and hills in sections of it, so prepare accordingly.
Once you arrive at the falls, you’ll have views of the powerful cascade as well as the Grand Portage State Park across the river.
