Marble Rapids is a small waterfall located just north of the village of Apsley. Set amid a beautiful forest and framed by rounded hills of metamorphic rock, this little waterfall presents a charming scene proving that even the smallest waterfalls can be beautiful.

A log frame that used to exist in the middle of the waterfall is now gone. It was likely evidence of an earlier mill or log flume once existing at this site. As late as 1953, Eels Creek was used to transport logs downstream to sawmills in Apsley and Stoney Lake.

It is my understanding that this falls and the rocky lands immediately to the west are publicly accessible. Provincial parcel mapping shows that there is an unowned right-of-way along Eels Creek. Since this is very close to the road, it merges with the Road Allowance. This implies that nobody owns the lands and that you can explore a bit.
