About Roland Cascade

A very small gentle cascade that was brought to my attention by Facebook group member John Ellin. It is located in a small gully on the north side of Roland Rd, just south of the hydro line cut. This appears to be just inside the southern edge of Short Hills Prov Park. It is long, gently sloping cascade with a washboard-style profile. The total fall was estimated at about 8 m, but there is no vertical plunge. Other images of the gorge show that it is full of brush and old logs... probably meaning that channel-clearing flows are rare.

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).
