Please don't trespass, don't litter, and stay on the trail.

A neat waterfall located where the river constricts and flows through a V-shaped notch in the bedrock. The falls is about 5 to 6 m high, although the total drop along this stretch of the river is probably 10 m. I always find these falls to be appear bigger in person.

There are no fences, and the rocks around the falls can be very slippery - be careful! Visitors that stay on the trail have enjoyed this site safely for years. It can be busy with families visiting on summer weekends. An old dirt road leads from a parking area along the west side of the river.

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.
