Facebook GroupThis is widely-regarded as one of the prettiest waterfalls in southern Ontario. Forming a perfect curtain and fed by a regulated waterway, the waterfall is typically reliable through most of the year. The restored Morningstar Mill beside the crest adds to the scene.
Unfortunately, access to the base of the falls has become prohibited. This became necessary due to repeated mis-use of the site. You can still see the upper portion of the falls from beside the mill, and, when the leaves are off the trees, you can get a full view by following the trail around the gorge rim and looking back. Hopefully access to the base will return some day. Do not try to descend the gorge using a rope.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
