This is a gem of a waterfall and always produces beautiful pictures. A stone ruins of an old mill found adjacent to the falls make the picture even better. The Hilton Falls Conservation Area can be quite busy, as it located right off Canada's busiest highway, within about an hour of greater Toronto.
A large parking lot easily holds close to 100 cars, and during summer the place can get quite crowded. There is a steep, rocky hill near the trailhead, but the rest of the route is relatively flat and well surfaced.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project. NOTE: There are no safety railings at this waterfall. Anyone that chooses to visit does so at their own risk.
