This small cascade is located on the Serpent River in the community of Serpent River. It is not very big, and probably one of those falls that is more exciting when water flows are low. This reveals the bedrock that hides under the river for much of the year. The total fall along the river here is 4 m, though there is no single fall of this height.
The site can be reached by parking on Riverview Rd and walking south along the gravel drive to the river. This driveway serves what is believed to be a municipal water supply plant. Please do watch for signs, just in case the site is on private property. Once you reach the river, the cascade is just another 75 m to the left, or, upstream.
On the far side of the river, the land comprises part of Serpent River Indian Reserve No. 7. Please be respectful of all lands.
