I found this waterfall posted on Gary LeClair's Facebook page called 'Waterfalls of Northern Ontario'. Holy smoke! Why has nobody else posted this online? Well, it is in a rather remote corner of Manitoulin Island, and, with a very small watershed, it likely only flows for a couple months per year. But Gary estimated it to be about 20 m tall.
A true caprock plunge waterfall that could be gorgeous if you visit it at the rith time. Indeed, provincial mapping show that several contour line converge in a V-shape, which is a good sign that a waterall may be present.
The challenge is on! Which master waterfaller will be the first to visit and contribute a photo to show here? The location is right beside the road and may require no more than 1-2 min of hiking. Just be aware that if you show up long after the snow has melted, there may not be much to see.
