Sand River Falls
The scenery along Lake Superior is some of the best on offer in Canada, the Lake is the world’s biggest in land area at 82,ooo+ square kilometers and third biggest in water volume it is roughly the size of Austria. The Ojibwe the Native people that lived here for millennia named the lake “Gichi-gam” meaning great sea and to most it would have appeared that way, the lake is fed by over 200 rivers and this is one of them called Sand River.
Around 150kms north of Sault Ste. Marie on hwy 17 lies the Pinguisibi river it is the Ojibwa name for the Sand River meaning fine white sand river, it is completely contained in the Lake Superior Provincial Park and offers a great hiking trail with some interesting canoeing if you don’t mind portages. Also located here is the Pinguisibi Trail it is a 6 kilometer hike along the Sand River following the rivers right bank to its source lake or you can just venture as far as I was interested in, the upper falls which you can just see in the distance at the center of the frame.
I took this on Sept 21, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 Lens at 24mm, 1/50s, f11 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO
