Canadian Waterfalls Quiz – Falling Water

Canada's waterfalls range from world-famous Niagara to remote cascades in the Rockies and the Arctic. Glaciers, mountains and the Canadian Shield create many drops.

Niagara's Horseshoe Falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls in North America, while Della, Takakkaw and Helmcken are taller but more remote.

Waterfalls supply hydroelectric power, inspire stories and attract visitors. Some freeze into ice formations in winter, creating different scenery through the seasons.
