There’s something about waterfalls that pulls Bob in every time—maybe it’s the sound of rushing water, or the way a river carves its way through the rocks, shaping the land for thousands of years. This week, Bob set out to explore Kap-Kig-Iwan Falls Provincial Park, a hidden gem near Englehart, Ontario.
From the moment he arrived, Bob could hear the thunder of the Englehart River as it spilled over the rugged rock ledges. The trails wound through thick northern forest, opening up to viewpoints where the falls revealed themselves in full force.
At the first stop, Bob leaned on the wooden railing and watched the water crash down into a deep, foaming pool (photo 1). The sheer power of it was mesmerizing, a reminder of how untamed northern Ontario can be. He took his time here, letting the mist hit his face before heading down the trail for a closer look.
Further along, the river spread out and cascaded over multiple ledges (photo 2). Each drop had its own character—some smooth and steady, others tumbling wildly between jagged rocks. Bob found himself snapping photo after photo, trying to capture the movement of the water against the dark stone.
Finally, he wandered to a quieter spot where the river widened and flowed more gently (photo 3). Here, the falls were smaller, framed by evergreens and moss-covered rocks. It was a peaceful contrast to the roaring sections upstream. Bob sat by the water’s edge, listening to the steady current and enjoying the calm northern atmosphere.
Kap-Kig-Iwan Falls might not be the most famous destination in Ontario, but for Bob, it was a perfect mix of rugged wilderness and soothing scenery. The combination of rushing falls, quiet trails, and thick forest made it a spot worth returning to.
Before leaving, Bob thought to himself: sometimes, the best places are the ones you stumble upon in the quieter corners of the map.
