Found immediately downstream of Highway 141, the middle falls at Rosseau is probably the steepest. The rock face is quite chaotic, and the appearance of the falls changes dramatically with different flows. This chaotic shape provides lots of opportunities for intimate waterfall photos.
It is my understanding that the land to the west of the falls is on muniicpally-owned land. I have been advised that this is the case by several people. But this has not been confirmed, so you must heed any signs telling you to keep out.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
