Aguasabon Falls & Gorge in Northern Ontario’s Terrace Bay is a notable natural site. It draws visitors to experience the region’s unique landscape and rich geological history. The 100-foot (30.5 metres) waterfall, cascading with powerful flow in the spring, gradually softens in summer and fall, showcasing its range from forceful to serene as it plunges into the ancient Aguasabon Gorge. The gorge was formed over 2.6 billion years and serves as a geological marker, displaying the deep history of the Canadian Shield and offering a glimpse into Earth’s ancient past.
The site is designed to welcome visitors of all backgrounds and abilities, making it a convenient yet immersive way to experience northern Ontario’s wilderness. Facilities include picnic tables and a large, RV-accessible parking lot, along with washrooms and a wheelchair-friendly boardwalk leading directly to the falls. This accessibility allows a wide range of visitors to enjoy the falls up close, making it an inviting location for families, road travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Aguasabon Falls also serves as an entry point to the Casque Isles Trail, an expansive route connecting hikers to various scenic spots along Lake Superior’s shore. From here, adventurers can hike toward Danny’s Cove, the Lower Aguasabon Falls, and the Terrace Bay Beach, each location offering its own unique view of the surrounding landscape. The trail adds an extra dimension to a visit, inviting those who wish to explore further into the wilderness and uncover more of the beauty Terrace Bay has to offer.
