Le nom de la chute Windigo vient du mot algonquin signifiant «le géant cannibale de la forêt».

Ces chutes sont constituées d’un immense rocher sur lequel coule l'eau de la rivière Windigo pour former une grande glissade d'eau naturelle. Les plus aventureux peuvent se laisser entraîner sur sa pente et, en tout cas, cet endroit est parfait pour se rafraîchir les orteils échauffés après une longue randonnée.

On retrouve près des chutes un sentier pédestre longeant la rivière, le long duquel sont installées des tables de pique-nique. Un pont de bois rond traverse la rivière Windigo, offrant le spectacle d'autres chutes plus petites.

The name comes from the fall Windigo Algonquin word meaning "cannibal giant of the forest."

These falls consist of a huge rock on which the water flows of the Windigo River to form a large natural water slide. The more adventurous can get caught up on its slope and, in any case, this place is perfect to cool overheated toes after a long hike.

Found near the falls a footpath along the river, along which are installed picnic tables. A wooden bridge crosses the river round Windigo, offering the spectacle of other smaller falls.
