Normally Duchesnay Falls covers her secrets with lots and lots of water.
In late Summer the water flow is often quite low and one can go places where it would be quite dangerous to attempt during most of the year.
The mystery of what causes the big waves and sprays of water is revealed when the water is low.
It is quite the novelty to stand in places that often are quite inhospitable.

The land through which the water runs adds to the whole experience.

The early run-off was slowed a day ago by more “normal” temperatures for this time of year. The water flow is a bit less frantic.
