At the Falls Chain: Does the water flow north/northwest into Kawnipi Lake OR south into Wet Lake?

Find a Listening Point and visit often. Develop a Land Ethic and strive to live it.

If you are coming from Cache Bay ranger station and heading to Kawnipi Lake you will always be at the top of the Falls as you enter the portages (including Silver Falls), i.e. heading downstream with the water.

What HP said. The river flows TO Kawnipi.

(For the record, if paddling against the current, it's barely noticeable in most places.)
