Warning: Waterfalls are dangerous - You aren't permitted to use this site unless you read, understand and accept the Website Disclaimer

A very small smooth waterfall on the Black River, situated under a bridge for Miriam Drive. You can find a small place to Park on Old Victoria Rd. But I can't recall if you can get to river level. This may not be necessary, because you can see the falls from the bridge. Please heed any signs that may indicate private property. This web site does not give you permission to trespass.

NOTE: The locaton for Peterson Falls on google maps is incorrect. All the more reason to use this web site rather than find 'Falls near me' with Google!
