This is one of my favourite waterfalls. Easily accessible, reliable, yet not overrun. It's secret is that it is in the other direction from where most hikers go. It's also at the bottom of a steep muddy hill. But it's only 5 mins from the parking lot, and visitors not worried about a bit of dirt will find a real gem.
The trail to this falls lead from behind the parking lot for the Robertson Cliffs. Ie. on the other side of the road from the trailhead and signage for Robertson Cliffs. The falls are audible after just a minute or two of hiking. The trail to down to the valley follows a muddy gully.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
