Facebook GroupThe Crowe Bridge Rapids is a small river-wide waterfall, dropping only about 1-2 m. The river bends and cascades over a gently tilted outrcop of sedimentary rock, forming a broad step-form waterfall. The river is bounded by irregular, low cliffs of limestone, making for interesting, though relatively short hiking.
The waterfall is in the Crowe Bridge Conservation Area and visitors should expect to pay an admission fee. This 10 hectare park borders the river and features swimming, picnicing and nature walks.
NOTE: During the Covid pandemic, and for some time after, this park was closed to the public due to severe mis-use. It's my understanding that it is open again. There is an admission fee to help control such mis-use and over-use. Please be respectful; this beautiful site was lost for public access for some time because of disrespectful visitors.
