Sand River Falls 3
Pictured here is the second falls from the bridge and the real reward of the hike along the river and one of the many portages if you plan to canoe the river in either direction you will enjoy a minimum 29 portages before reaching the source lake of the river. The Pinguisibi River also known as Sand River in its English translation from Anishinaabemowin the Ojibwa language drops about 185 m (600 feet) in elevation from Sand Lake to Lake Superior making for fast water, rapids, waterfalls and lots of rocks.
You literally cannot miss this great rest area 150km North of Sault Ste. Marie as you have to drive over it to get to where you are going, there is a marked parking lot with restrooms and the Pinguisibi trail along the river is clearly marked and only moderately difficult to reach these falls making this a great leg stretcher. Water levels vary with season and year and so offer a different scenic experience each time you happen to be in the area also while there make sure to stop as well at Old Woman Bay one of the prettiest coastal landscapes that is reasonably accessible along Superior
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
