A modest-sized waterfall, most visitors will probably use this as a pit stop on the way up to bigger waterfalls around Owen Sound. But I've always liked this little spot. The falls are set just below a small dam. I first thought this ruined the view but have grown to like it.
Visitors walk over the dam to the far side, where a trail runs back towards town, set just back from the river. A few short paths lead down to the river bed, though visitors need to watch for short, steep rock dropoffs. This is a low, wide cascade, perhaps 3-4 m high and about 12-15 m wide.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
