Facebook GroupThe Dee River drains Three Mile Lake, to Clark Pond and then to Lake Rosseau. This isn't a big falls, but is interesting in that there are several different cascades and slides along an interesting stretch of river. The river braids around several bedrock islands, some with small waterfalls on either side.
Do be aware that there is private property downstream. There used to be a small cabin in the woods on the opposite shore of the river, but that appears to be gone. The upper part of the falls is a trough-style falls and is the smallest and easy to photograph. The lower falls is harder to photograph because of tight angles.
Roadside parking is available on North Shore Rd. The road isn't very busy, but visitors are responsible for finding a safe place to park. A clearing on the side of the road leads down to the upper falls. From a point about 50 m west along the road, a wide walkway leads through the woods to the lower falls.
It's my understanding that access to the river is possible because the road allowance merges with river right-of-way. At the same time, there are homes nearby to the west (to your right) so you must avoid any areas posted as private property. If you live in the area and can provide further information about access, please let me know.
