A beautiful, unspoiled wide low-gradient cascade that can be explored at low flow. This falls is found on a loop trail from the parking lot, which also takes you past the upper falls. The upper falls are a bit bigger and compact.
I have been advised that the road leading into the falls is not as passable as it once was. I recall that it was a dirt road with lots of bumps and potholes, but still passable. If you find it difficult for your vehicle, you could just park at the main road and hike in. The distance from the main road to the parking area is about 1.4 km, and is reasonably flat.
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: This waterfall is coded yellow because of uneven ground and the lack of safety structures. Also because of the questionable condition of the road. Anyone that chooses to visit does so at their own risk.
