Also known as the Kana:tso or Akikodjiwan Falls, the Chaudière Falls are a set of cascades and waterfall in the center of the now Ottawa-Gatineau area where the Ottawa River narrows. During the fur trade, the falls were an obstacle along the Ottawa River trade route where canoes portaged around the falls in the area now known as Hull.
