Kwasitchewan Falls, Waterfall in Northern Region, Manitoba, Canada
Kwasitchewan Falls drops 14 meters over exposed Precambrian rock formations, creating the highest waterfall along the Grass River in Manitoba.
The waterfall served as a crucial navigation point for fur traders traveling through Western Canada, guided by indigenous peoples during colonial times.
The name originates from a Cree word referring to the water's bright appearance as it cascades down the geological formations.
Visitors need to complete a 22-kilometer return hiking trail from Pisew Falls to reach this remote waterfall in the northern wilderness.
The falls expose geological formations from the Trans-Hudson orogen, displaying rock layers that date back to the Precambrian period.
