Facebook GroupThis is the second largest waterfall on Manitoulin Island. It is smaller and less pretty than Bridal Veil Falls, but is still worthy of a quick visit. This waterfall is about 10 m high, exhibiting a small, but fairly reliable flow. The falls is classified as plunge waterfall,but two prominent ledges of sedimentary rock break the profile near the top of the drop.
In the early 2020s, a solid footbridge was constructed across the top of the falls. This allows for good viewing, but its looks are a bit polarizing. One person told me that it looked oversized for the falls. In contrast, I think that the existing site was a little 'weak' at the top. ie. There wasn't much to look at at the top of the falls, which was at ground level, and somewhat wide open. The bridge helps to frame the scene. The site is now used as a rest area along Hwy 6.
Lands downstream of the falls are privately owned.
