Nistowiak Falls, Waterfall in northern Saskatchewan, Canada
The Nistowiak Falls cascade down 10 meters through a narrow gorge where the Rapid River connects Lac La Ronge to Nistowiak Lake on the Churchill River system.
The name Nistowiak originates from the Cree language, indicating the location where different water bodies merge in this northern Saskatchewan region.
The surrounding area features ancient red ochre pictographs near Stanley Rapids, created by Woodland Cree ancestors to represent local wildlife and human figures.
Access to the falls requires a 20-kilometer journey by water from Stanley Mission, with visitors choosing between canoe transport in summer or snowmobile trails in winter.
The waterfall creates a permanent mist above the northern forest canopy, forming frequent rainbows while in winter the spray generates substantial ice formations.
