Bugs and Waterfalls - In and Around Wood Buffalo National Park

Carrying on with our journey in and around the Wood Buffalo National Park, we are now out of the park and are going to show you some brilliant waterfalls in the area. Our pit stop outside the park was at the town of Hay river named after the river itself and situated on the southern shore of the Great Slave Lake.
The Great Slave lake shares its name with the First Nations peoples of the Dene family called Slavey by their enemies the Cree. It is the deepest lake in North America at 614 m and the tenth-largest lake in the world by area.
But before we show you the waterfalls, we'll show you something more sinister! Bugs, millions of bugs. These bugs, horsefly, blackflies, mosquitoes were in swarms in the area. We encountered mostly mosquitoes and horse flies. The horse flies for some reason loved the cars and kept circling around the vehicle as soon as it stopped. The mosquitoes however had other ideas! And to protect ourselves from them we had to wear face nets and hand nets and of course lots of bug spray.
The first falls on our route was the 17-metre McNallie Creek Falls. Just a couple of minutes walk from the highway, this place is a nice picnic spot too.
An access road south of MacKenzie highway will take you to the magnificent Lady Evelyn falls. The falls form a giant curtain of water as the Kakisa River spills over a limestone escarpment.
Our next stop was the stunning Louise Falls. Just south of Enterprise, Louise Falls is one of the two falls of the Twin Falls Gorge Territorial Park. This is the larger of the two falls.
4 kms south of Louise Falls is the royally beautiful Alexandra falls, the other falls of the Twin Falls Park. The Alexandra Falls drop 32 metres over a limestone ridge. Two viewing platforms are located a short walk away from the parking.
For those who havent visited North Canada, please do so. The natural beauty here is on a different level altogether. Thoroughly pristine and almost untouched by human hands.
We are the Jajabars. Jajabar in Bengali means a nomad or a vagabond. We plug ourselves in Edmonton, Canada and once the batteries are recharged, we start again. We have travelled to many countries around the world and have encountered lots of interesting experiences. So, we have decided to share these experiences with you. Hope you like our videos.
