  Panorama

This is a very picturesque cliff located on the west shore of a small lake. From the trans-Canada highway bypass that runs north around Kenora go north on the Grassy Narrows Road (PR#671) past Jones Cliff to the Jones railway crossing. Turn left onto a secondary gravel road 3.3km beyond Jones (10.5km past the Jones Cliff, or 40.5km from the trans-Canada highway). The cliff is across a lake on the right, 8.1km down this road. Continue up the hill ahead and just past the crest of the hill turn right onto a rough trail which ends at a turnaround. A path heading east from the trail 20m before the turnaround branches into trails that go to the top and bottom of the cliff. There are exit routes at each end of the cliff.
