This is Pigeon River and it forms the physical border between Canada on the right and the USA on the left.
When I sat here looking at this scene in the second image I thought back to the pictures I saw in geography class many years ago and it struck me as being a quintessentially Canadian scene with the autumn leaves, the rugged cliffs and the river tumbling between the rocks.
Years ago this was an important part of the logging route with logs being floated downstream and via a variety of chutes to avoid the falls on the way to Lake Superior. Nowadays the logs are transported by road on big trucks and so the river has returned to its natural state although signs of the old industry are there if you look for them.
