The waterfall at Belfountain Conservation Area is a pleasant surprise. This is a great family outing as it's a well developed park and the walk to the falls is short. There are trails on the far side that you can use to extend the visit.

I didn't find it until many years after I started this inventory. Being close to Toronto, it can get quite busy on weekends. The upper portion of the falls has been increased in height by a dam that holds back a recreational pond.

In 2021, the park was closed for redevelopment. I've been told by Facebook group members that it has reopened and is more beautiful than before.

A suspension style footbridge crosses the river gorge immediately downstream of the falls making for a great visiting experience. There are reportely smaller cascades a little downstream, likely just beyond where most day-use visitors would venture. Let me know if you find them.

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...
