One a a number of very small waterfalls in the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve. This is a beautiful, privately-owned reserve to which you can gain access for the day.
The yellow star rating is given because the forest can be difficult to navigate. If you ask at the gatehouse they should be able to direct you to the rapids, which are near the lookout trail. Many of the "roads" in the reserve are passable by a regular car, but are not well signed at all. It would be very easy to get temporarily lost in here.
NOTE: The coordinates for this rapids are approximate; I was unable to find the exact spot using aerial photography. It is a good idea to check at the gatehouse and to use their local map. Fortunately, I had David Sweeney to take me here. Not sure that I would find it again on my own!
