Tourist Viewing area
View of the Churchill Reservoir from the south shore, north of the village.
This trail stretches for about 17 km. Its departure is after Brinco Bridge where you can admire the falls by walking about 20 minutes. Walkers are advised to bring noisemakers such as bells or whistles to alert wildlife to your presence.
This area of the Churchill River is a suitable site for sport fishing and water sports such as boating and kayaking. The panoramic view is magnificent. At any time of the year, water levels in the Churchill River can fluctuate; thus, the safety of boaters and anglers on the river must be a priority.
