Located south of the town of Wawa, Scenic High Falls is an impressive waterfall that stands 75 feet high and 125 feet wide. The beautiful park area is located at the base of the falls with a covered picnic shelter, BBQ, wheelchair-accessible washroom facilities and plenty of parking. The short walking trails, which follow the top of the falls to the park at its base, also provide signage for an informative look at the history of power in the Michipicoten area.(Submitted on March 23, 2023, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
