This is a long, wide cascade waterfall! Not a lot of height, but certainly no slouch. At lower flows, it may be possible to walk along the edge of the falls along dry bedrock. When I visited in early June, it was full blast with a lot of water, and there was no way to do this. There were only a few places from which you could get an expansive photo. A boat would be a great way to see the falls at this time.

The short road to the site ends at road barriers; the old highway bridge is just beyond. Visitors can park here. About 50-60 m back along the road there is a small sign on the right to mark the trail. This leads north on a pleasent (if muddy at times) 500 m walk to the falls.

This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.

Waterfalls of Ontario Project

This project has been online since 1999, in print since 2003, and on social since 2011. (See archives: 2003, 2012, 2018). It was the first to inventory and map Ontario's waterfalls for recreational purposes. With your continued help, it grows. Learn more...
