About Pakenham Falls

The river only falls by a few metres at this location, and it is admittedly not very large. But the falls extend about 100 m across the river, with lots of exposed sedimentary bedrock along the shore. You have to work for some good photos, but they can be had. The 5-span masonary bridge found immediately upstream from the falls makes it worth the drive. Built in 1903, this is the only one of it's kind in North America. This is a nice little tourist village. The falls aren't spectacular, but the overall setting makes for a good outing.
