Our Responsibility
Waterfalls get closed when people are injured or ruin lands.

Please don't trespass, don't litter, and stay on the trail.
Warning: Waterfalls are dangerous - You aren't permitted to use this site unless you read, understand and accept the Website Disclaimer

A great hike from the parking lot takes you to this waterfall in about 20 mins. Be sure to watch for the lower falls on the way too. The trail starts off in an old pine plantation but then becomes quite rocky and uneven.

The trail leads to the vantage point from where this photo was taken. Another 5-6 mins further along the trail leads to a vantage point overlooking the falls.

This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
