This is a monster site, easily a Top-10 site for Ontario, probably Top-5. 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. A schedule is available online in picture form, but may be out of date.
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.
