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 a waterfall in northern Manitoba, Canada, and the highest waterfall in the province, at 14 metres (46 ft) high. It is located in Pisew Falls Provincial Park and is a 32-kilometre (20 mi) return hike from Pisew Falls, the namesake of the park and the second-highest waterfall in the province. The falls are located on the Grass River and were historically a part of the fur traders' route to the interior of Western Canada via the Saskatchewan River basin, guided by the indigenous peoples of the area.
