Duchesnay

A popular spot to visit in our part of the world is where Duchesnay Creek cascades down the rocky escarpment on the North side of Lake Nipissing.

Several ledges form pretty waterfalls and rapids in the almost 1 km trip from the top to the bottom.

This photograph was made near the end of the journey that the creek takes on its way to Nipissing.

Duchesnay Falls Revealed

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.

Visit To An Old Friend

Duchesnay Creek drops over the escarpment north of our town on its way to Lake Nipissing.

Over many years and many visits, it has provided multiple opportunities to preserve in photographs and memory the uniqueness that is our part of the world.

No two encounters are ever the same.

Late Summer

By late summer there isn’t much water flowing over Duchesnay Falls.

What roars in Spring has become gentle as the Season ages.

Duchesnay Cascade

There is a place near North Bay where Duchesnay Creek finds its way down the escarpment in a series of jumps.

This is one drop and landing for the water.

A Look At Duchesnay Falls

Yesterday I had some free time and so I visited Duchesnay Falls.

The water is lower than the last time I was there and different photographic opportunities were presented.

It is very difficult to ignore the water rushing over the rocks, but there are many other quiet encounters.

A Visit To Duchesnay Falls II

The rumble of the falls and rapids at Duchesnay is hard to ignore.

The is also great opportunity to look for quieter spots along the side of the torrent and experience some neat stuff.

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

Can you hear the rumble of the Falls?
