A new path to replace the existing staircase and walkway will make waterfall viewpoints at Pisew Falls Provincial Park accessible to more people, Manitoba Parks says.
“This path will feature a handrail and will allow for wheelchair access to the viewing platforms,” said Manitoba Parks in a Facebook post. "This new pathway will also make snow clearing easier for staff. These upgrades will help make these spectacular falls accessible year round. The existing boardwalk will remain open during construction.”
Pisew Falls, located about 70 kilometres south of Thompson, is a 13-metre (42-foot) drop on the Grass River and Pisew Falls Provincial Park also serves as the starting-off point for a backcountry hike to the province's highest waterfall Kwasitchewan Falls. The falls are named for the Cree name for lynx because the sound of the rushing water resembles the hissing noise made by the wild cat.
