Duchesnay Falls - Winter View

Click on the photo for a larger image.


Here's a shot of Duchesnay Falls. It's a slightly different view of the falls then what I took earlier this summer (click here for that summer view).

Duchesnay Falls East Channel (summer)

Saturday's post of Duchesnay Falls showed the west channel flowing with water while the east channel is dry (well almost dry, there is a little trickle as can be seen from the wet rocks). Trust me, the rocks were wet and slippery, almost lost my camera trying to walk up this cascade! This coming winter and spring, I will post seasonal photos for a different perspective.

Duchesnay Falls West Channel (summer)

Duchesnay Falls is located along Highway 17 (near where Main St meets Hwy 17) at the north end of the city. There are walking trails along Duchesnay Creek to view the falls as well as the forests around the college and university campus. The creek empties into Lake Nipissing. There are two channels for the falls as it approaches Hwy 17 and during the summer, usually only the west one has water.
