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.
