The park itself provides you with breathtaking scenery where you can camp, cycle, hike or just enjoy the region's sheer natural beauty. Located in a gorge on the Kaministiquia River, Kakabeka Falls plunge 39 metres (about 120 feet) over a cliff of slate into the river below. The rocks of Kakabeka fall are like a stone book. The youngest stones (several millions of years old) are at the top of the falls. These rocks get older and older as you descend down the falls to the bottom. Rocks along the base of the falls are over a billion years old! Each layer of rock tells its own story and some of the fossils discovered here are the oldest found anywhere at 1.6 billion years. Aside from the falls, the park offers many other opportunities to explore nature. Beyond the developed area of the park are large tracts of forest and fields that are home to many species of birds and animals. Woodland flowers blossom in every colour imaginable. The park's 2 campgrounds have 169 campsites. The 90 campsites with electrical service are located in Whispering Hills Campground where there are also several pull-through sites to accommodate large trailers and recreational vehicles. Picnic areas on both sides of the Kaministiquia River offer spectacular views of the falls. Bring your bathing suit for a swim at a third picnic area further upriver.
