About Rockway Falls

Rockway Falls is a surprisingly visitable waterfall, with a deep gorge and good photography and hiking. Yet many people in the area appear to be unaware that it's here. The gorge is at least as deep as that of nearby Balls Falls, and you may see people rock climbing and rappelling. I consider Rockway Falls to be one of the primary examples of a "ramp" waterall. Water slides over the bedrock at a very steep angle, but does not lose contact with the rock at any time.

The Waterfalls of Ontario Project

Since 1999, 'Waterfalls of Ontario' (and its predecessor) has served as a free online resource for the Ontario waterfalling community. With grassroots input from people like YOU, together we have introduced thousands of people to the joy of waterfalling!

This was the first web site in Ontario to inventory and map waterfalls for visiting. (See archives from 2003 , 2012 and 2018).
