The Middle Cordova Falls is smaller than the upper one. It is accessible by two ways. A short drive back down Fire Rd 18 from the upper falls leads to a short laneway leading down the hill, beside an old wooden penstock that supplies a power station. A trail from the upper falls that pops out beside the river above the falls
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.
