The lower falls at Cordova are the smallest and are much further downstream than the upper and middle falls. There are actually 2 channels here (sometimes more!), leading to several different small falls. There are some neat secret spots in the woods that can produce intimate waterfall photos.The place is amazing in autumn.
My selection of upper, middle and lower falls, made years ago, was somewhat arbitrary. The use of these terms has stuck, and they appear now on Google Maps and other resources. A dilligent explorer may find a few more little falls to explore along this stretch.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
