Pisew Falls Provincial Park is North of 53 in Manitoba, approximately midway between the small community of Wabowden and the much larger industrial and service centre of Thompson, Manitoba.

Manitoba's highest waterfall is accessible only via a difficult 22-km (13-mi) round-trip backcountry hike. It is a very rugged and primitive forest-trail with several steep grades, and some walls to climb. It is poorly maintained and has lots of fallen trees in the path. The scenery at the falls is astounding and well worth the hike. The hike will take 5-6 hours to the falls, and 4 hours back, at a reasonable pace. A topographical printout is recommended as the trailhead has several branches; in addition since the trail follows the lake it is relatively easy to interpret the map. Deatiled maps are available from Manitoba Conservation.
Pisew Falls is approximately 700 km north of Winnipeg, 0.5 km off Manitoba Provincial Highway 6, near Kwasitchewan Falls, the site of the highest-elevation, naturally-occurring, year-round waterfall in Manitoba.
