Facebook GroupThis is a waterfalling highlight in northeastern Ontario. It's not that the falls is spectacular, but more that there is a lot of watefalling to be had here. In addition to the main, upper falls shown here, there is a lower falls which is almost as big, being more spread out than constricted. In the middle, a gorgeous rock rapids section makes for beautiful photos.
I have been advised that the road leading into the falls is not as passable as it once was. I recall that it was a dirt road with lots of bumps and potholes, but still passable. If you find it difficult for your vehicle, you could just park at the main road and hike in. The distance from the main road to the parking area is about 1.4 km, and is reasonably flat.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project. NOTE: This waterfall is coded yellow because of uneven ground and the lack of safety structures. Also because of the questionable condition of the road. Anyone that chooses to visit does so at their own risk.
