Stop 6: Pete's Dam

There are several falls along the river at Pete's Dam Park. A loop trail leads from the parking lot down river and back, visiting both sides of the larger falls.

This stop is just 10 minutes from New Liskeard. Learn more...

Stop 7: Kapkigiwan Falls

These falls are big and rugged, but easy to reach. Several people have agreed with me that they looks bigger in person than in photos.

What makes this site one of the Top 5 waterfall experiences in Ontario is the fact that you can also hike upstream to see Hell's Gate. Kapkigiwan also has an upper, much smaller cascade. Learn more...

Stop 8: Hell's Gate

This is a sequence of 6 low, but scenic waterfalls. The entire stretch occurs over a distance of about 1 km, and you can reach them on foot from Kapkigiwan Falls. This is all at the same site.

Note that the park gates are closed in the off-season. Visitors are allowed to hike in during the off-season. The 3 minute hike to the falls simply increases during this period to about 15-20 mins. Learn more...

Stop 9: Fourth Falls

This waterfall is coded yellow because of the hike. The trail is only about 10 mins long and isn't too rough, but the site is completely undeveloped. You may not see anyone here all day.

Fourth Falls is an odd shape, and can be difficult to get a head-on photograph. But the journey and exploring is memorable. Learn more...

Stop 10: Marter Slide

This small creek slides along a bare rock stream bed for about a hundred metres through the woods. Most wouldn't consider it a waterfall, but I include it because it's actually perfect example of a slide-type waterfall.

You will hike over this falls on the way to Fourth Chute. In summer it might be completely dry. In spring, you might have to step on some stones to cross the creek. Learn more...

Stop 11: Eighty Foot Falls

I've only seen this waterfall once, and it was one of the most beautiful waterfall sights in Ontario. But I do think that I got lucky with perfect flow and perfect lighting.

By summer and fall, it is all but dried up, as water is diverted for power generation. At the coordinates in the map route, keep left and drive/hike another km. Learn more...

Stop 12: Aidie Creek Rapids

This one is hardly exciting, but it's cute. You will be driving right by on your way to Timmins, and so it's worth a short visit.

But do be sure to leave in time to reach Timmins before dusk. Learn more...

Waterfalls of Ontario Project

This project has been online since 1999, in print since 2003, and on social since 2011. (See archives: 2003, 2012, 2018). It was the first to inventory and map Ontario's waterfalls for recreational purposes. With your continued help, it grows. Learn more...
