Summary:

Potholes Provincial Park is located 70 km east of Wawa on Hwy 101. This is a small park, and it is not well marked. I believe it has recently been downgraded from an operating to a non-operating park.

This is not a major waterfall, but it is an interesting combination of water and rock. The river has carved out a couple of large potholes and has also carved interesting curves into the rock. You have to see it to fully appreciate it. Unfortunately the surrounding area has a certain devastated look about it, as if there have been too much fire or forestry.

The park is quite out of the way. Given that it is such a small (but scenic) attraction, you may want to think twice before heading there from Wawa, unless of course you are on your way to Chapleau or points east.
