This is a tall, narrow plunge waterfall that flows only during the wettest periods of the year. Perhaps only 1 m wide, but about 10 m high, it has only barely begun to erode into the face of the Escarpment. It is fed by ony a small drainage network, with no real stream leading up to the falls. Honestly, I haven't visited, and don't think that you can see that much (?).

Parking is available in the lot for Borers Falls, where visitors follow the Bruce Trail north towards Borers Falls. The trail passes over the top of Rock Chapel Falls. It is difficult to access the base of the falls; I don't believe there is a path.

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...
