Description

Thanks to Johanna Wandel for this picture of Denison Falls. Be sure to visit her web space, linked below.

According to Johanna, this waterfall is located on crown land, about 3 km upstream from Lake Superior. The falls is about 30 m high, and is found on a difficult canoe route, runnable only in spring. This is backwoods stuff, so don't expect to visit this falls unless you're ready to work for it!
