Facebook GroupAt over a hundred metres in width, Healey Falls is a big one! It can be a real force at high flow. It can also be a real disappointment at other times, when the majority of the flow is sent for hydroelectric power. A dam runs across the top of the falls and visitors are are free to walk across it to get a panoramic top-down view.
I now park on the country road on the other side of County Rd 50. If you choose to cross the regional road, you do so at your own risk. Once on the other side, hike down the easy gravel laneway for about 5 minutes to the falls. There is a home on the right side of the road. Please stay on the access road and do not trespass on their private property.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
