This is quite possibly the smallest waterfall on this web site. It is very insignificant, and I didn’t bother listing it for years after first spotting it. But members of the Facebook group posted photos so I thought, ‘Why not?’. The tiny little rapids occurs on a smooth bedrock outrcrop under the bridge that leads to McDonald’s on Hwy 7 in Madoc.

Most people will be content to just look out their window while on Hwy 7 and say "Look, a baby waterfall." Hard-core waterfall fans might park in the lot and scramble down to creek level. Expect to get some weird looks from others. Me included! This is tiny and insignificant; you've been warned!

This site is coded yellow because getting close to the waterfall would require someone to clamber down a short, but steep embankment. Tall grasses may harbour ticks.
