A small cascade near the historic Farr Cemetery in Haileybury. Few people know about this falls; I had read about it years ago but didn't get confirmation until a Facebook group member found it in 2021. The creek is also called Farr Creek. If you live locally could you let me know if you see any errors on this page?
A trail leads behind the cemetery and into the woods. Eventually it connects to another trail that heads off to the right (parallel to the lake). After about 500 m, the trail reaches the river and bends to the right to follow the river upstream. After another 300 m it reaches the falls.
On one website I saw that this was billed as the highest waterfall in Ontario. It certainly is not! Doesn't mean that it isn't a cool find, however, as this is an attractive site.
