Lakehead Waterfall Region

Waterfalls of Ontario HOME | E-Mail Mark Harris |

The Lakehead Region covers an immense portion of Ontario, encompassing most of the land on the north side of Lake Superior. I have not yet visited this area, and thus, the only waterfalls featured on these pages are those submitted by readers like yourself. The region has some spectacular waterfalls making the long drive for southerners worthwhile. The region covers the following counties: Thunder Bay, Rainy River and Kenora.

I would really appreciate any help from people familiar with the area.
