Facebook GroupThis is a first-class, sizeable waterfall hidden in the wilderness, yet still easily accessible by car. George Fischer featured this as the cover photo on the 3rd edition of our book. The main falls is a tall cascade about 12 m in height and 5 to 6 m in width. It's much bigger than it looks in these photos.
Visitors must be extra careful here. At places, the gorge walls are rounded at the top and so it can be dangerous to look over "the edge". By hiking downstream just a bit, I was able to follow a short steep trail to a rock platform giving a frontal view of the falls. Be sure to follow the entire loop trail, as there are other rapids and cascades to be seen.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project. NOTE: There are no safety railings at this waterfall. Anyone that chooses to visit does so at their own risk.
