Magpie Falls usually gets the nod as the top waterfall in Wawa. I find that Silver Falls, however, is just as good, and in many ways, offers a more rewarding waterfall outing. You can spend far more time here than at Magpie, even if it doesn't have quite the same level of initial 'wow' factor.

The falls is visible from the road bridge, but is more than 100 m in the distance. Already the view is quite scenic. On the far (west) side of the bridge, a trail leads off into the woods on the right. It leads to the top of the falls and beyond. NOTE: This is marked as wheelchair accessible; this would only be visible from the road and small picnic area, at distance.

This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.

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...
