Limestone Falls

Limestone Falls, or Chute du Calcaire, is a series of waterfalls on the Caniapiscau River in Nunavik in northern Quebec, Canada. The largest and tallest falls along the river, it stands out in a remote subarctic landscape. It is part of a sequence of waterfalls that includes Pyrite Falls about 7 kilometers upstream, a smaller but especially powerful cascade. Since 1985, the KA-3 Dam of the Caniapiscau Reservoir has regulated the flow at Limestone Falls, connecting this natural waterfall system to the region’s major hydroelectric infrastructure.
