About Fountain Falls

A beautiful falls that is right beside the road. What could go wrong? Well, first, the road is very narrow and somewhat remote. Not too scary and a regular car will make the journey if you take it easy. Second, there are no trails or viewing locations, and you have to clamber down a hill into the woods to get the best views. The photo shows the upper half of the falls; the lower half is gentler and more of a cascade with boulders.

Looking downstream, I found it easier to descend through the woods on the right side. You don't have to go far at all, it's just that there are no trails and you will have to hop over boulders and logs. As long as you take your time and be careful, you should be able to visit safely. Located about 25 mins drive from Cobalt. The bridge at the top of the falls is very low profile... it could be possible to drive over it if you aren't watching. I found the site by punching the coordinates on this page into Google Maps. Finally, be aware that the label for the falls on Google Maps is in the wrong place.
