Paradise Falls is a weekly soap opera television series which aired nationally on the Showcase channel in Canada, starting in 2001.

Like many major soap operas, sex is a dominant component of the storylines, although more explicit in nature.

Set in the summer cottage municipality of Muskoka, the series premise was that the town of Paradise Falls' cottage life was not what one would expect – beneath its idyllic surface lurked scandal, murder, deceit, betrayal, steamy love affairs and political intrigue.

Unlike the typical studio based soap opera, the series was shot entirely on location on Sparrow Lake in Muskoka and Whitevale, Ontario, which gave the show an authentic looking background.

It was produced entirely in digital format, to reduce production costs, and allow for easier editing when adapted for foreign markets.
