Facebook GroupThis cute little plunge waterfall is close to the GTA, yet few people know about it. Fortunately, it takes about 20 mins to hike to it, which is just long enough to keep it mostly under the radar.
About 3-4 m high at most, the falls has created a small gorge that is accessible to those that take their time and use caution. The only drawback is that it suffers from low flow for much of the year. But there is usually just enough flow to enjoy.
The falls are located just outside of the Terra Cotta Conservation Area, along the Bruce Trail. Nevertheless, most of the hiking is through the consevation area, as is the parking spot. There is a small fee to park and use the conservation area. Be sure to consult the maps on the signs by the parking lot; there is no sign saying 'To the Falls'.
Visitors make their way to the far west corner of the park using the existing marked trails. This leads to a meetup with the Bruce Trail. By turning right, this trail eventually come to a set of stiles that take hikers over a fence. About 5-7 minutes further and it is possible to hear the falls on the left. The trick is to walk past the falls for about 30 seconds to an intersection in the trail. Here a path leads down the hill, back towards the falls.
