Takakkaw Falls - Canada's third highest waterfall


'Takakkaw' means magnificent in Cree and the 380-meter (1,246 feet) falls, named by CPR President Sir William Van Horne, do not disappoint. Among the highest in North America, these falls originate from the meltwaters of the Daly Glacier, out of sight beyond the cliffs.
