Facebook GroupI have yet to visit this waterfall, but have seen photos posted by Gary LeClair in his Facebook paged called 'Waterfalls of Northern Ontario'. It is a small barrier cascade, about 2-3 m high. A small bare rock platform on one side of the falls makes for a pleasnt place to relax. It is located just off the Chicago Mine Road, about 30 mins north of Hwy 17 at Denlou.
The roads to the falls, while lightly travelled, are in decent shape for the most part. They are probably logging roads and so any drivers should use caution; logging trucks are large and have the right-of-way.
This waterfall is coded yellow because road conditions may be sub-par. Also, Google maps labels many roads here as 'Chicago Mine Road' and thus it would be easy to become lost. It is highly recommended that you study maps ahead of time and learn to use GPS waypoints. The roads are mapped; they just aren't named properly.
A key waypoint is at 46.4885, -81.5241, where there is a fork in the road. The route to the falls requires a right turn at the fork. About 100 m further the road starts to bend to the left. I don't know if there is a proper trail, but depending on leaf cover, it is possible to just see the falls through the trees on the right (visible in Google street view), just 20 m away.
