Jones Falls is a pretty waterfall that is interesting to explore. It's a decent size, though smaller than the better known Inglis Falls and Indian Falls, both also in the outskirts of Owen Sound. You can see the falls while driving out of town on Hwy 6 / Hwy 21 (10th St West).
The best place to park is at the lot on the east side of Hwy 6, just a few driveways after the highway has made a right turn to continue north. There is a sign for the falls. The parking lot is shared with the Owen Sound Transportation Company. The hike through the woods is about 10 mins.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
