You Can Wander Past Surreal Caverns Filled With Waterfalls At This Magical Ontario Spot

It looks like another world.

You Can Wander Past Surreal Caverns Filled With Waterfalls At This Magical Ontario Spot
Algoma County
Lead Writer, Travel

This short hiking trail in Ontario will take you past some breathtaking landscapes.

Potholes Provincial Park, located near Wawa, is home to an ancient glacial valley and miniature waterfalls.

Thousands of years ago, glacial meltwaters formed unique potholes in the bedrock of this area, and you can still see water flowing through these caverns as you wander by.

A short 350-meter trail complete with boardwalks leads past the potholes, and you can also discover a lush boreal forest filled with flowering plants.

The area is a great spot for picnics and birding, and offers some truly spectacular scenery.
