Beautiful Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park gets its name from the 40 metre high Kakabeka Falls within the park limits. The falls are the second highest waterfall in Ontario with year round access for viewing. The park allows for excellent views of the falls and gorge from the boardwalk that wraps around the top of the falls. The Kaministiquia River which feeds the falls is cut deep into the rocks to reveal 1.6 million year old fossils at the bottom of the falls. The paths leading to the falls are also part of the historic route of that the Voyageurs took. The park surrounds the endangered Lake Sturgeon spawn at the base of the falls.
