Nistowiak Falls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nistowiak Falls, at 10 metres, are the highest waterfall in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. The falls are on the Rapid River, which flows north into the Churchill River from Iskwatikan Lake. Nistowiak is a Cree word referring to the convergence of waters.
The closest access is from the Stanley Mission Indian Reserve #157[1] (part of the La Ronge Indian Band[2])), at the end point of highway 915 which has a junction with highway 2 is 36 km east. Then about 20 km east by water on the Churchill River. The falls, Iskwatikan Lake and the south shore of Nistowiak Lake are contained in Lac La Ronge Provincial Park[3]. There is a tourist fishing camp on the east side of the Rapid River at Nistowiak Lake called "Jim's Camp". Some minimal supplies can be obtained there. The trail to the falls goes through the fishing camp for part of the way.
