Churchill Falls
Churchill Falls are waterfalls named after former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. They are 245 ft high, located on the Churchill River. 4 miles above the falls, the river narrows to 200 ft and negotiated a series of rapids before dropping into MacLean Canyon, from which sheer cliffs rise several hundred feet on either side. The total drop from the rapids above the main falls to the end of MacLean Canyon is 1,038 ft.
