There are three waterfalls in Canada which appear to reverse. They are Wager Bay, Nunavut; Barrier Inlet, Nunavut; and Reversing Falls at the mouth of the Saint John River, New Brunswick. During low tide the watersource falls over a rocky ledge as a waterfall. During high tide, the seawater raises above the height of the rocky ledge, and the seawater rushes into the river valley against the low tide river flow.

Sports

Waterfall ice climbing is a sport undertaken by climbing enthusiasts aware of avalanche risks. Some waterfalls are conducive to swimming, or kayaking sports. To several waterfalls which are not near a highway, hiking trails lead into the site of the waterfall. Some waterfalls have bridges and cable cars to provide additional scenic views of the waterfall such as at Montmorency Falls. Photography of waterfalls records the panorama of scenic cascading waterfalls.
