With 110 waterfalls ranging to over 130 feet high and freezing up to 33 feet thick, the Pijitawabik Palisades boast the greatest concentration of climbable ice east of the Rockies. These 500 foot cliffs draw ice and rock climbers from all over the world to Orient Bay to test this imposing precipice.

The Annual Nipigon Ice Fest is held upon the towering cliffs each Spring and continues to attract climbers and enthusiasts from around the world.
