Located right along the Trans-Canada Highway, this waterfall has been a pit stop of long-distance travelers for decades. A large paved parking lot and a footbridge beside the highway make the site accessible to all. The falls is a wide cascade, probably up to 50 m wide during high flows. The river falls a total of no more than about 10 m over several sets of waterfalls.
When flows are high, the falls can be swamped. Visiting during lower flow can be better, when the river is confined to the lower notches and grooves in the bedrock. A path leads into the woods and leads to rocky outrcrops high above the falls.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project. NOTE: There are no safety railings at this waterfall. Anyone that chooses to visit does so at their own risk.
