I have not yet visited this waterfall. It is located in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park and can only be visited by paddling. Images online show it to be a small but near-vertical waterfall that is somewhat fan shaped.

Many images on Google Maps identify this as 'Copper Lake Falls'. I believe that this is an error, because these falls are very close to an eastern inlet of Rathburn Lake; Copper Lake is over 1 km to the north east.

The driving directions lead to the Anstruther Lake Access Point, off Anstruther Lake Road. It is my understanding that paddlers could put in here and then paddle north to the falls. The trip is about 4 km long and requires a short portage from Anstruther Lake to Rathburn Lake.

If you have visited, please let me know what you found. This could be renamed to Rathburn Lake Falls to prevent confusion, because it is not located on Rathburn Lake.

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...
