Highlight the princess Louise Falls

The name " Princess Louise falls" is commonly used locally, but the falls are more accurately part of Taylor Creek and were at times called " Taylor falls"  Located around the St. Joseph Blvd  Ottawa, Ontario 

One local story claims that Princess Louise ( Daughter of Queen Victoria, wide of the marquis of Lorne ) visited by buggy to sketch the falls, hence the name. but there is no definitive archival evidence to confirm this.
