Facebook GroupFound just downstream of a dam that holds back the water level of Baptiste Lake. The overflow spills through the dam and over a giant inclined mass of bedrock. By late summer, the flow is small and most of the rock is exposed.
You can view the falls from the top, right near the parking area. A trail that leads to the bottom may still be safe, but was starting to erode when I last visited in fall, 2021. It leads in front of the waterfall for a head on view. Visitors must stay back from the edge.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
