The sedimentary rock – mudstone and shale – at the start of this trail tell a story over a billion years old, of a land once covered with a warm inland sea.

Known as Niagara of the North, Kakabeka Falls plunges 40 metres over sheer cliffs and some of the oldest fossils in the world. Get a bird's-eye view from jutting platforms and trails along the gorge.

Trace voyageurs' steps around the falls in this historic park.
