The pretty falls has created a short gorge that is just about long enough to almost hide the falls from view from the road. But not quite!
Approximately 7 to 8 m high, the little waterfall does its best to bring a little peace to an otherwise busy landscape. It has a small watershed though, and usually dries out in summer.
SAFETY NOTE: This waterfall is coded yellow because it is found along the side of Centennial Parkway. There is no dedicated parking area along this busy four lane road.
The Waterfalls of Ontario Project generally recommends against parking and walking along the side of a highway. Interested readers might find parking directions on other waterfall sites.
NOTE: I recommend that parents with young families skip this waterfall, given that there is no dedicated parking area.
