Along the canyon shoreline were large rocks and scree slopes at the base of the cliffs.
The only obstacles we encountered while paddling up the canyon towards the crater were a two-metre high rock wall that we had to portage over near the beginning of the canyon and a short section near the end of the canyon closest to the crater where it became too shallow to paddle the canoe.
What is now a canyon was once filled with water that moved with enough force to enlarge a crack in the bedrock and form a chasm.
The Colony - The AbitibiCanyon colony was established in 1930 to house staff and their families working at the AbitibiCanyon generating station.
At one point, passengers going to the Canyon colony travelled by rail to the Fraserdale station where they boarded the Hydro train and proceeded for the a distance of 5.6 km (3.5 miles) to the colony's siding or splashed down into a station head pond by small float plane.
The Canyon fell victim to the economics of remote operation and to improved highways in this unpopulated and forested part of Ontario.
