Our Responsibility
Waterfalls get closed when people are injured or ruin lands.

Please don't trespass, don't litter, and stay on the trail.
Warning: Waterfalls are dangerous - You aren't permitted to use this site unless you read, understand and accept the Website Disclaimer

This waterfall is found along reasonably short, but demanding trail, right off Hwy 129. The trail is about 550 m long and is steep in sections, but people report that it isn't extraordinarily tough. The path isn't always well-worn; look for flagging tape and use your ears!

In 2022 there was a faint green sign at the trailhead. The falls is a long cascade in several sections. This makes it impossible to get the entire scene in one shot.

This site is coded yellow because the trail is challenging and in a remote area. At the same time, the trail is established and the highway, while not super busy, is regularly travelled. I have yet to visit this site myself, and hope to update this page after I do.

Waterfalls of Ontario Project

This project has been online since 1999, in print since 2003, and on social since 2011. (See archives: 2003, 2012, 2018). It was the first to inventory and map Ontario's waterfalls for recreational purposes. With your continued help, it grows. Learn more...
