Facebook GroupOne of the tiniest waterfalls in this collection. The falls pops out of a fracture in the dolostone. This is a 'karst falls'. Fractures in limestone and dolostone can transmit groundwater, and sometimes be expanded by very slow dissolution. When the fracture is exposed at a rock wall, the groundwater can discharge as a falls.
This can be found on the trail to Devil's Monument on the Bruce Peninsula. Don't get too excited about this falls unless you are a karst hydrogeologist! Consider the falls as a short stop along the main trail down to the stoney lake shore. The shore is the big draw.
The site is coded yellow because it is relatively remote and includes some steep hiking. Hikers with experience will probably find that this is no worse than any other site.
