Chippewa Falls
A stepped waterfall beside Highway 17, a sketching site for the Group of Seven, also known as the midpoint of the Trans-Canada Highway.
Chippewa Falls lies about 50 km north of the city, beside Highway 17. The Harmony River cascades in multiple tiers over layers of granite. Members of the Group of Seven, including A.Y. Jackson, sketched here, and on-site interpretive panels display their paintings. The falls are also known as the midpoint of the Trans-Canada Highway's east-west span. The parking lot is right beside the road, and the falls are just a few minutes' walk away. It is a good stop on the way back from Pancake Bay Provincial Park.
