Waterfalls of Ontario - Northeast Index

Northeast Waterfall Region

Waterfalls of Ontario HOME | E-Mail Mark Harris |

The Northeast Waterfall Region covers a large area of the province, including the lands north from Algonquin Park and east to Sudbury. I have not explored much of this region, but my research shows that the potential for waterfalling is very good. The region covers the following counties: Manitoulin, Parry Sound, Nipissing, Sudbury, and Timiskaming. Note that the first three counties are included in different regions in the print version of Waterfalls of Ontario.

I would be very happy to hear from anyone who can provide any information about the waterfalls in this area.
