This is not nearly as high as the High Falls just several km downstream at Hwy 17. But it's accessible and attractive.
Parking is available in a gravel pull-off at the bend in the road located just past (west of) the falls, which you can see from the road. A very short trail leads through just 10 m of woods to the river. Don't forget to look for the cascades found above the main 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.
