Stanley Mission is at the north end of Highway 915, which connects via Highway 102 to Highway 2 in La Ronge. From Stanley Mission, it is about east by water on the Churchill River. The falls, Iskwatikan Lake and the south shore of Nistowiak Lake are within Lac La Ronge Provincial Park. There is a tourist fishing camp on the west side of the Rapid River at Nistowiak Lake called "Jim's Camp". Some minimal supplies can be obtained there. The trail to the falls goes through the fishing camp for part of the way. Lac la Ronge drains into the Churchill River through these falls.Photos
