When you can can camp within earshot of a waterfall, have easy access to the Trans-Canada, and have an easy hike even more falls, you know you have a great waterfalling destination. This would be 5 stars except for the fact that flows in the river drop dramatically during summer, when most people are visiting.
I highly recommend visiting during late spring, when flows are high, or during fall, when the colours can be absolutely amazing. A viewing platform at the top of the falls gives a somewhat unique top-down view of the main cascade.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
