We are having a problem locating Chasm Falls and are not sure if it
still exists. On our maps, Chasm Falls is noted in two
different places. After returning from a trip there in July 2011,
an analysis of the maps indicates that perhaps one of these is a
community and the other a falls. We are definite that there
is a hydro dam at the community. Many times a dam built at
the site of a waterfall eliminates the falls. In this case
however, we have found evidence that Chasm Falls is 125'
tall. It doesn't make sense that a dam would eliminate this
kind of waterfall. We are going to continue to research this
but are leaning toward the idea that a waterfall does exist
somewhere upstream of this hydro project.
The Salmon River flows north into Canada and then empties into
the St. Lawrence River.
