Facebook GroupThis is a monster site, probably Top-5 in Ontario. While it is a little out of the way, fortunately it is easy to reach. This long drive north to the falls along Hwy 129 is picturesque, as it soon follows a deep scenic valley. This is particularly gorgeous in fall!
NOTE: This waterfall can be turned off! Water is diverted for power generation. Visitors are warned that if they show up in late fall or late in the day, the flow may have been stopped. It's my understanding that the last day of the season is a week after Thanksgiving
Update 2024: I visited this waterfall this fall and was disappointed. The classic view of the falls from the official viewing area is essentially over. About a dozen conifer trees have grown between the falls and the viewing area, all but blocking the view. There are a few alternate viewing spots that adventurous visitors can find. But if you are visiting with children or people that don't like to go off trail, you may wish to reconsider.
For the above reason, I may knock a star or two off the 5-star rating.
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 that there are no safety railings at Aubrey Falls, so visitors must stay back from cliffs.
