As far as its many waterfalls go, this is probably the Niagara Peninsula's best secret! This pretty little falls is located where 16 Mile Creek tumbles over Irondequoit Limestone of the Niagara Escarpment. Completely natural, surrounded by woods and usually deserted.
A small parking lot is found right off the road, and gives access to a trail leading into the woods. After a few hundred metres, the trail descends past a limestone wall. A new trail leads off to the left and leads maybe 100 m to the crest of 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. NOTE: There are no safety railings at this waterfall. Anyone that chooses to visit does so at their own risk.
