Churchill Falls

Churchill Falls

Churchill Falls (formerly called Grand Falls and known as Patshishetshuanau in Innu) is a high waterfall on the Churchill River in Labrador, Canada. Formerly counted among the most impressive natural features of Canada, the diversion of the river for the Churchill Falls Generating Station has cut off almost all of the falls' former flow, leaving a small stream winding through its old bed and trickling down the rocks.
