Overnight Roadtrips from the GTA

Most waterfall fans will visit an individual spot and call it a day. Others might complete a single day road trip.

Once you really catch the bug, you may find yourself looking to go further afield. These multi-day road trips will take you to new corners of Ontario.

Road Trips are fun! Use waterfalls as pit stops or major destinations.

Trip 20: North By North Bay

Round Trip Driving: 800 km, 9 hrs
Time of Day Trip: 2 Full Days

This road trip leads to some of the best waterfalls in Muskoka. But instead of turning around, it keeps going!

Almost all of the waterfalls are within 5-10 minutes' drive from Hwy 11. Get out of the city, but don't leave the comforts of a good road.

Trip 21: The Timiskaming Fling

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...
