This provincial park is home to Aubrey Falls, a stunning remote waterfall located in the Mississagi Valley along Hwy 129. It's what you would say, a complicated waterfall, meaning there are a many cascades rushing over the rugged Canadian Shield flowing into the Mississagi River below. As a non-operating park, there are no services but it has ample parking and privy facilities. The hiking trail is well-marked with signage including a Group of Seven interpretive panel. This is a non-operating park. There are no activities or facilities at this park.

Located 20 km south of the Ear Falls is Perrault Falls, featuring a breathtaking cascade of water between Perrault and Wabauskang Lakes.

Most canoeists who pass along the Chiniguchi River don’t even know the lagoon exists, as it lies off the portage and across from the main course of the river and associated waterfall. Passersby see the falls, but portage right past the lagoon.
