Majestic Lakes and Waterfalls

Ontario’s landscape is defined by the Great Lakes basin and the Canadian Shield, which host an extensive network of rivers and cascades. This collection features the world-renowned Niagara Falls alongside remote northern wonders like the 120-foot New Post Falls. It highlights diverse geological features, including the glacial spillways of the Oxtongue River and the narrow limestone gorge of the Crowe River. Many of these sites, such as Recollet Falls, also mark historic portage routes used during the North American fur trade.
