This is a nice, decent-sized falls that is bigger than it appears in this photo. And even though visitors can park within a two minute walk to the crest, this waterfall is unspoiled and could easily be mistaken for a true wilderness site. The site isn't far off Hwy 11 and makes a rewarding pit stop on the way to North Bay.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
