Muskrat Falls

Muskrat Falls is more than a brutal portage. It's also an impressive display of the powerful combination of water and gravity. The falls do not have the grandeur of the old Grand Falls as the drop is not as far and is split into two sections but given all the water that flows into the Churchil/Hamilton/Grand River after the falls Muskrat is probably bigger in a GPMS (Gallons per milli-second) sense. Either way I wouldn't choose to go over either set of Falls in a canoe.

The Boss and I spent some time looking at the falls then in a fit of madness took a "short cut" around the south side of the mountain rather than hike back up the path. If you try this when you get to the big rock with "GO BACK" spray painted on it. You haven't gone to far to turn back and this rock is good advice.

I've posted two road videos to YouTube: Sasquatch? and Firelake55. My YouTube username is Kensapiens. If they look OK I might try to post a couple of others.
