An interesting plunge falls pouring out of the woods. This site was named after Walter Ceolin, a Conservation Officer with MNR who fought to protect the site. The rock here is known as puddingstone, which is rare in Ontario. It appears to be accessible from an un-named road leading east from Secondary Highway 639, about 30 km north of Elliot Lake.
I've heard that there can be standing water on the road early in the season. The falls have historically been called Puddingstone Falls by some, named after the puddingstone rock (a type of conglomerate) found near the site. Have you found it?
This waterfall is coded yellow because it is remote and due to the condition of the road. While the road is likely acessible for cars that don't have a low ground clearance, please note that this truly is a secondary road. I have been told that there is an old decrepit bridge to be crossed in your car. It's still standing, but, may not be forever.
