About Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park
Kakabeka Falls () is a waterfall on the Kaministiquia River, located beside the village of Kakabeka Falls in the municipality of Oliver Paipoonge, Ontario, 30 km (19 mi) west of the city of Thunder Bay. The falls have a drop of 40 m (130 ft), cascading into a gorge carved out of the Precambrian Shield by meltwater following the Last Glacial Maximum. Because of its size and ease of access, it has been nicknamed "the Niagara of the North". The rock face of the falls and the escarpments along the gorge are composed primarily of unstable shale, and are eroding.
