Waterfalls of the Pinguisibi [Suggest Edits]

Description

Pinguisibi (formerly the Sand River) is the Ojibwe name for "river of fine white sand." This river is an ancient travel route used by the Ojibwe as they hunted, fished and trapped northwards into the interior. There are three huge waterfalls (or cascades) on this river between the Highway 17 bridge and Portage 28 on the Sand River Canoe Route. The long cascade of the first waterfall is very close to, and a very easy hike from, the parking lot. The main drop of the first falls, and the other two falls, require a moderate but fairly short hike from the trailhead. A visit during the Spring runoff is suggested if you want to see really big cascades.

Short Hike: An Ontario parks pass is required to park at the trailhead and hike to these waterfalls.

Gem Type: Waterfall
