Umbata Falls

Umbata Falls, situated 40 km (25 miles) southeast of Marathon, near Pukaskwa National Park, is a majestic waterfall fed by the White River. This natural wonder is subject to the whims of an upstream hydro dam, which can alter its flow, adding to the falls’ mystique. The journey to Umbata Falls is an adventure in itself; the trek on foot is demanding, often leading intrepid explorers to opt for paddling the White River—a challenging endeavor reserved for the seasoned paddler. This multi-day voyage through rapids and serene waters culminates in the sight of Umbata’s cascading waters, a rewarding experience for those who undertake the journey.
