Short, but vertical, with a beautiful backdrop. This is the best of the small waterfalls in the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve. This is a beautiful privately owned reserve for which you can gain access for the day. See their web site.
This site is coded yellow because it is difficult to find. Fortunately, I had David Sweeney to take me here! There is little physical risk at the site, as the viewing area is flat ground. I will try to create exact directions, but will need some help. You could ask at the gatehouse; tell them this is southwest of the Marsh Lookout.
Many of the "roads" in the reserve are passable by a regular car, but are not well signed at all. It would be very easy to get temporarily lost in here. Particularly beautiful in the fall.
