Limestone Falls (French: Chute du Calcaire) is series of waterfalls on the Caniapiscau River in Nunavik, Quebec, Canada. The falls are both the largest and tallest of a series of waterfalls on the Caniapiscau River, which includes the smaller but equally powerful Pyrite Falls located about 7 km (4.3 mi) upstream.[1]
The flow of the falls has been regulated by the KA-3 Dam of the Caniapiscau Reservoir since its completion in 1985.
