The Manabezho Falls are part of the Presque Isle River's spectacular final dash to Lake Superior. The entire 1 mile stretch is very beautiful, with lots of bare rock and rapids. It is easily accessible from the Presque Isle entrance off of CR-519 on the western end of the park.

It is just a short walk from the parking area to the river. There are trails on both sides of the river. From the parking lot, Manabezho falls are upstream. You can cross the river upstream at the South Boundary Road bridge, and head back downstream on the other side.

Downstream of the parking area is a suspension bridge for pedestrians which leads to Presque Isle. In the summer, when the water is lower, the river goes to the left of the "island" (west), but when the river is high it surrounds the island.

Manido Falls are just short distance upstream. Nawadaha Falls is a bit farther upstream. Downstream of Manabezho the river plunges into a narrow gorge. The "falls" there have no name, but they are quite interesting.
