Largest source of water on the trail to Algonquin Peak, and quite beautiful if you are willing to stop and rest a while here.

If you are hiking Algonquin Peak, Wright Peak or Iroquois, you will see this waterfall, as you must cross it to reach any of these peaks.
Upon summiting Algonquin, I commented that we would be short of water if we continued on to Iroquois (of an out-and-back) and that we'd need to refill at the waterfall. The Summit Steward supplied the name: MacIntyre Falls.
If you look up Algonquin Peak on Wikipedia, you will see a picture of the same falls (unnamed) taken from a slightly different vantage point.
