Facebook GroupThe waterfalls at Paradise Lagoon had been somewhat legendary for a while. Acccess used to be very difficult, and people could only visit during a long canoe trip. Road access has improved recently, though 'improved' is a relative word!
VIsitors reach the site by following Bushy Bay Rd north to these coordinates (46.8329, -80.6540). This very short road soon becomes impassible for almost all road vehicles, so people park here and hike in. The route keeps right at the first fork in the trail. About 8-10 mins later, there is a path on the leff that leads through a stand of red pines. The trees were marked with red paint. It's just a few more mins along this path 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. NOTE: There are no safety railings at this waterfall. Anyone that chooses to visit does so at their own risk.
