<p>When it comes to waterfalls, we often get caught up with measurements of height. Sure, the taller the waterfall, the more majestic it appears to be. But, nothing is more a measure of Mother Nature’s raw power than volume.</p>
<p>There’s something about that power that truly makes any human being feel small and vulnerable. In the case of a few of the eleven waterfalls we’ll look at today, you even have a chance to be alone, up close and personal with these marvels.</p>
<p>Let’s start from number 11 and work our way up to number 1…</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 11 Canadian Waterfalls (Average Flow Rate)</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">11. Athabasca Falls</h3>
<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-medium"><img decoding="async" width="200" height="300" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/athabasca-falls-02-200x300.jpg" alt="athabasca falls jasper national park" class="wp-image-3718" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/athabasca-falls-02-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/athabasca-falls-02-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/athabasca-falls-02-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/athabasca-falls-02-750x1125.jpg 750w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" /></figure></div>
<p>The reason why we extended the list to 11 instead of just a standard top 10 is simply because #11 was <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/athabasca-falls-jasper/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Athabasca Falls</a>. The fact that this waterfall has an average width of just 98 feet, you’re getting a lot more visual impact from the 113 cubic metres per second (4,000 cubic feet/second) that make the 79 foot drop. </p>
<p>This waterfall is, of course, quite famous as one of the main attractions within Jasper National Park in Alberta. Just off the main highway and 30 kilometres south of the Jasper townsite, you will never be alone when viewing this wonder. In fact, it can be a struggle just to find a parking spot.</p>
<p>The waters of the Athabasca River are sourced from the nearby Columbia Icefield. Eventually, the river makes its way to the Peace River, home of number two on the list today.</p>

</div></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">10. Marcus Falls</h3>
<p>Located on the Clearwater River in eastern British Columbia, Marcus Falls has an average flow rate of 122 cubic metres per second or 4,300 cubic feet per second, just slightly more than Athabasca. But, at 350 feet, it is more than three times as wide. This waterfall is rather short, as well, at just 15 feet in height.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">9. Baileys Chute</h3>
<p>A short distance upstream on the Clearwater River from Marcus Falls in Baileys Chute. This waterfall has the exact same flow rate as its neighbour. However, its width is less than half at 151 feet. Baileys is twice the height of Marcus at 30 feet. However, that 30 feet runs for 200 feet in what is labeled as a gradual sliding cascade.</p>
<p>Baileys Chute is located within Wells Gray Provincial Park on the eastern side of British Columbia, near the Alberta border. The waterfall is named for Jim Bailey. Bailey was an engineer who drowned just below the falls in 1952 after his canoe capsized.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">8. Montmorency Falls</h3>
<p>If a river’s got to end, it should end in style. If the Montmorency River was a living entity, I’m sure that’s what it would be thinking. Montmorency Falls in Quebec City, Quebec is a 276 foot drop at the point where the river empties into the St. Lawrence. </p>
<p>The average volume of water flowing over Montmorency Falls in 130 cubic metres per second (4,600 cubic feet). What makes this waterfall such a tourist draw, other than its location within a major city, is the height of 276 feet, almost 100 feet higher than Niagara.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">7. Rearguard Falls</h3>
<p>Some 1,260 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean by way of the Fraser River is Rearguard Falls in British Columbia. The volume here is 171 cubic metres/second (6,000 cubic feet). The height is just 20 feet while the width is 200 feet.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">6. Louise Falls</h3>
<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-medium"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="200" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/louise-falls-03-300x200.jpg" alt="louise falls hay river northwest territories" class="wp-image-3706" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/louise-falls-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/louise-falls-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/louise-falls-03-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/louise-falls-03-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>
<p>This is actually a tie for fifth with Alexandra Falls, found three kilometres upstream on the Hay River in the Northwest Territories. An average of 282 cubic metres (10,000 cubic feet) rush over this unique waterfall every second. <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/louise-falls-nwt/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Louise Falls</a> has a unique look that is best explained by watching the video.</p>
<p>This waterfall is 49 feet in height and 600 feet wide. The best part is you can camp at the adjacent Twin Falls Gorge Territorial Park. From your site, it’s a quick hike to this waterfall and Alexandra Falls.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Alexandra Falls</h3>
<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-medium"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="200" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/alexandra-falls-300x200.jpg" alt="alexandra falls northwest territories" class="wp-image-3932" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/alexandra-falls-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/alexandra-falls-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/alexandra-falls-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/alexandra-falls-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>
<p>Sharing identical volume with Louise, <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/alexandra-falls-nwt/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Alexandra Falls</a> offers a different view. It’s a clean drop of 105 feet than sort of resembles the Horseshoe Falls portion of Niagara. Dubbed Hatto Deh Naili in the Slavi language, Alexandra is located just over 40 kilometres from the town of Hay River.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Chutes De La Chaudiere</h3>
<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-medium"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="200" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/chaudiere-falls-lower-view-09-300x200.jpg" alt="parc des chutes de la chaudiere levis quebec" class="wp-image-5136" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/chaudiere-falls-lower-view-09-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/chaudiere-falls-lower-view-09-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/chaudiere-falls-lower-view-09-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/chaudiere-falls-lower-view-09-750x500.jpg 750w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/chaudiere-falls-lower-view-09.jpg 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>
<p>It’s harnessed by a hydro-electric dam but <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/parc-des-chutes-de-la-chaudiere/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Chutes De La Chaudiere</a> is still quite a sight. Located in Levis, Quebec, this waterfall can be seen as you pass <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/canada-largest-cities-1871/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Quebec City</a> on Highway 20. At this point, the Chaudiere River dumps an average of 500 cubic metres (18,000 cubic feet) per second over the jagged rock.</p>
<p>The height of the waterfall is 115 feet while the width is 790 feet. The area is easily explored by an extensive trail system. Those trails include a pedestrian suspension bridge just downstream that offers great views of the waterfall and of Quebec City if you look in the opposite direction.</p>

</div></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Virginia Falls</h3>
<p>On a visit to Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories in 2016, we missed a plane ride to see Virginia Falls by a day. An ad posted at the town hall stated a local tour company had open seats due to a cancellation but, we missed out. Fort Simpson (or just Simpson, as the locals tend to drop the Fort from town names) still an impressive place at the confluence of the Liard and MacKenzie Rivers and is a must see if you’re ever in the area.</p>
<p>Anyway, Virginia Falls has a volume of 1,000 cubic metres per second (35,000 cubic feet). It is twice the height of Niagara at 315 feet with a width of 850 feet. Located on the South Nahanni River, this waterfall is found within the Nahanni National Park Reserve.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Vermilion Falls</h3>
<p>On that same 2016 trip, I wish I’d known of the existence of Vermilion Falls. It turns out, we passed within a short drive of this waterfall in Northern Alberta without even knowing it. It is located on the Peace River, just downstream from Fort Vermilion.</p>
<p>Not only is this Canada’s second largest waterfall by volume with a flow rate of 1,812 cubic metres per second (64,000 cubic feet) but it’s also a world leader in a different category. </p>
<p>Vermilion Falls is a whopping 1.8 kilometres or 6,000 feet wide! This makes it the sixth widest waterfall in the world. However, the height is just 15 feet. In fact, in high water seasons, small flat bottomed boats are actually able to navigate up and down the waterfall.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1.. Niagara Falls (of course…)</h3>
<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-medium"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="200" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/niagara-falls-night-colour-2-300x200.jpg" alt="niagara falls new york ice illumination" class="wp-image-2863" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/niagara-falls-night-colour-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/niagara-falls-night-colour-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/niagara-falls-night-colour-2-190x127.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/niagara-falls-night-colour-2-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/niagara-falls-night-colour-2-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>
<p>This is one of the world’s top tourist draws for a reason. <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/niagara-falls-winter-illumination/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Niagara Falls</a> (the collective name for Horseshoe, American and Bridal Veil Falls put together) has an average volume of 2,407 cubic metres per second (85,000 cubic feet) dropping over a height of 167 feet. </p>
<p>However, this doesn’t come without controversy. After all, is it a Canadian waterfall? About two third of Horseshoe Falls is in Canada. The rest, along with all of Bridal Veil and American lie within New York state in the U.S.</p>
<p>Regardless, the Niagara River as it takes its short journey from Lake Erie to <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/port-credit-sunrise-april-2019/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Lake Ontario</a> is incredibly powerful, awe-inspiring and downright beautiful, no matter which side of the border you’re viewing from.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Have You Seen Them All?</h3>
<p>Vermilion Falls is not the only one of these eleven that we personally have missed out on, to date. But, we have had the fortune to visit five. Living less than a two hour drive from Niagara means we visit quite often. But, even after all these years, I seem to see the cascade a little differently each time.</p>
<p>On our <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/western-canada-road-trip-mileage/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">2016 Northwest Territories road trip</a>, we took in Alexandra and Louise Falls, along with a few others on NWT’s ‘Waterfall Route’. To be alone at the edge of these massive waterfalls is an incredible feeling. To be alone at the edge in the eternal dusk after midnight on an early July night is an even more incredible feeling.</p>
<p>On that same 2016 trip, and several times as a youth for me, we visited Athabasca Falls. The crowds couldn’t take away any of the magic as an impossible amount of water rushed down this gauntlet. </p>
<p>The fifth is Chutes de la Chaudiere. We’d often spotted it from the highway while passing through Quebec City on our way to the Maritime provinces but finally stopped in 2018 when we trooped down in the motorhome. We stayed the night at the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZdERV6-K0E&t=2s">Quebec City KOA</a> kampgound on the opposite side of the highway. It was just a short drive in the morning to the parking lot.</p>
<p>Chaudiere sits in the tourism shadow of Montmorency but it is something that should not be missed. The trails are excellent and you can get pretty up close and personal on the rocks below the falls.</p>
<p>As for the other six, they’re part of a very long and ongoing list of places we want to see on this earth during our lifetimes.</p>
<p>How many have you seen in person? We’d love if you’d share your experience in the comments below…</p>

<p>I’ve been to Egan Chutes in the mosquito infested springtime. I’ve been for the incredible beauty in the fall. This latest visit to the waterfall just outside of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtWRqXxvj8s&t=57s">Bancroft, Ontario</a>, Canada was the first time in the middle of summer. </p>
<p>The major difference was the number of visitors. In the spring and fall, mine was the lone vehicle in the parking lot. This time, it was jammed. However, the visitors were spread out and it didn’t feel crowded.</p>
<p>I went in without a tripod and in the bright light of the middle of the day. Most of the photos in the gallery below were taken at high shutter speed and, obviously, were handheld.</p>
<p>More info on the waterfall below the video and photos…</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">About Egan Chutes Provincial Park</h3>
<p>Egan Chutes is a non-operating park located about ten kilometres east of Bancroft, Ontario on highway 28. What does non-operating mean? It means there are absolutely no facilities. There are no washrooms. No running water. No picnic tables. Heck, I don’t even think there’s a garbage can.</p>
<p>Non-operating parks are simply properties of natural significance owned by the Ministry of Natural Resources (Ontario Parks) in order to protect the land. Some day, the plan may call for an upgrade to an operating park. But, for now, there is a rough, narrow road to a small, uneven parking area with a trail that runs alongside the river to the base of the waterfall.</p>
<p>In fact, if you’re not focused on where you’re going, you will miss it. The ‘road’ is barely noticeable and is more like a trail heading into the forest. There is but one small 12″ by 12″ faded sign telling that you are on MNR property.</p>
<p>The best way to find it, from the west, is to look for the bridge crossing the York River. Once you’ve crossed it, pull over to the shoulder immediately because you’ve missed the entrance. Turn back, cross the bridge going west and look for the dirt track ‘road’ on the right (north) side of the highway. Try not to cut anyone off while doing this! </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What’s The Magic Of This Location?</h3>
<p>Egan Chutes is typical of many Canadian Shield waterfalls across the the region, including <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/oxtongue-river-ragged-falls/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Ragged Falls</a>, <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/duchesnay-falls-north-bay/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Duchesney Falls</a>, <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/onaping-falls-revisited/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Onaping Falls</a> and most of the cascades around Bracebridge. It’s long and rugged with several drops. </p>
<p>This is not Niagara Falls. This is not a ‘curtain’ of water. This is Mother Nature, angry and raw. But, where you park your car and for most of the walk on the trail, the York River looks calm and tranquil. </p>
<p>The autumn colours certainly add to the magic here. The cliff face at the base with it’s bright orange colouring certainly make it unique. </p>

<p>Like a broken record. Again. The morning at Furnace Falls was planned around a sunrise. The ball of fire was to rise directly upstream from the waterfall. It ended up being mostly cloudy…</p>
<p>So, not to waste the early rise, I threw on the <a href="https://amzn.to/30j1tbR">Tamron 70-300 Macro Zoom</a> lens and went about making a small waterfall look like a giant. This multi-tiered waterfall is short. But, its intricacies are quite spectacular.</p>
<p>I would suggest, if you’re planning a drive out of Toronto to look at the fall colours, skip the crowds and fees of Algonquin. Drive from Kinmount (north of <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/bobcaygeon-sunrise/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Bobcaygeon, Ontario</a>), make a stop at this waterfall, pass through Gooderham and head east to Bancroft. While in Bancroft, don’t miss out on <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/egan-chutes-provincial-park/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Egan Chutes Provincial Park</a>.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Furnace Falls Image Gallery</h3>
<p>No <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/polaroid-variable-nd-filter/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">ND filters</a> necessary. The overcast sky at sunrise and using the long lens allowed for just long enough exposures for the effect I wanted. I used to be a fan of the ‘complete white out blur’ associated with an exposure of 10-30 seconds or more. Some of my favourites from this gallery are as fast as 1/4 second.</p>

<p>Furnace Falls is a short waterfall located between Kinmount and Gooderham, along highway 503 in Ontario, Canada. The waterfall is just off the highway and there is a small, free to visit, park area.</p>
<p>The park is maintained by the Township of Minden Hills, which is part of Haliburton County. It is maintained at no cost to users to please pick up your trash and thank a worker if you happen to see one!</p>
<p>The river shortly after merges with the Burnt River before passing through Kinmount. The fancy new sign at the entrance to the park states that paddling is an option on the river. This is something I will be exploring in the future (<a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/pelican-magna-100-kayak/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">since I kayak now</a>). At this point, I’m not sure if you can paddle upstream, downstream or in both directions.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Waterfalls Of Ontario</h3>
<p>If you want the best resource for finding waterfalls in the Canadian province of Ontario, the book <a href="https://amzn.to/30g1G0d" class="broken_link">Waterfalls Of Ontario</a> by Mark Harris is a must-have. Harris gives a thorough listing of waterfalls throughout the province with details on how to find them, where to park and other important items.</p>

<p>I’ve been to Inglis Falls several times over the years but never to the base of the waterfall until just recently. It’s probably not allowed and certainly not encouraged (signs only say no swimming…) but it is exceptionally beautiful from below. The view point from above is quite basic and doesn’t show the exotic beauty of the Sydenham River on its journey following the plunge over the <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/niagara-escarpment-waterfalls/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Niagara Escarpment</a>.</p>
<p>Near the start of June, 2018, we took the drive up to Inglis Falls Conservation Area in the evening. The cool air and overcast skies were actually great for photography and kept pretty much any other visitors away.</p>
<p>The new parking fee system has proved to a bit of an issue with me. It’s not the dollar amount but that you can only pay by smartphone and that fee is only good for that specific parking lot and not the rest of the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority. Meaning, if I was to head up to Bruce’s Caves after visiting Inglis Falls, I’d have to pay another $6. Whereas, if you pay to enter an Ontario Provincial Park, that pass is good for any other of their parks. The $41 season’s pass is reasonable by is tagged to a single license plate. We have three vehicles so would need three passes.</p>
<p>Anywho, it is what it is (a corporate saying that I completely despise) and the money supports a parks system that probably will not get much funding under the newly elected Ontario provincial government. The waterfall is exceptionally beautiful but should be visited early in the season as the water volume tends to drop as summer wears on. This is one of several waterfalls in the <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/owen-sound-night-images/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Owen Sound, Ontario</a> area. Other must-visit (both with free parking, I might add) locations are <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/indian-falls/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Indian Falls</a> and <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/jones-falls-long-exposure/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Jones Falls</a>. By the way, if you haven’t visited Indian Falls since before the spring of 2016, you’re in for a big surprise!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Inglis Falls Video</h3>
<p>The video below was taken the same day in June, 2018 as the photos above. We did good, coming away with all the equipment we went in with. Others, apparently, aren’t so lucky. A bit downstream from the main waterfall, tangled in the cedar growth along the shore, was the remains of a fairly expensive <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/gopro-hero-5-black-accessories/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">GoPro</a> brand drone.</p>
<p>If you like what you see, please give the video a ‘Thumb’s Up’ in YouTube. If you love what you see, please consider subscribing to our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/TomSamworth?sub_confirmation=1">YouTube Channel</a>!</p>

<p>For full-size, high resolution versions for any of the photos in the image gallery, simply click on the individual pictures. All are long exposure shots between six and 30 seconds with the aid of an ND filter. I have both screw on and square type neutral density filters but these were taken with my old reliable <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/polaroid-variable-nd-filter/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Polaroid Variable Range ND Filter</a>. I find that in situations like below Inglis Falls where you’re balancing both your body and camera on uneven and slippery surfaces, that filter is just so convenient and easy to use.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Inglis Falls Conservation Area</h3>
<p>Inglis Falls Conservation Area is located just to the southwest of Owen Sound, Ontario (technically within the city boundary, I believe?). The feature is obviously the waterfall but there is a trail network and some historical exhibits, as well.</p>
<p>The waterfall is 18 metres or 59 feet in height with a crest that is around 25 feet across. This cascade is created by the waters of the Sydenham River flowing over the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. In a bit of a confusing twist, this is one of two rivers in Ontario with the same name. The other, longer Sydenham River is located to the southwest and empties into Lake St. Clair.</p>
<p>The version of the Sydenham that creates Inglis Falls runs north through Owen Sound before emptying into Georgian Bay. So, in theory, these very waters will eventually join up with the water from the other Sydenham River after flowing north through Georgian Bay and south through Lake Huron.</p>
<p>The river was formerly diverted at Inglis Falls for hydro electric, grain milling and drinking water purposes. Remnants of that era remain above the waterfall and below. Although, the ruins of the structure below are located in an area that many never see.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Owen Sound, Ontario</h3>
<p>Owen Sound, Ontario was settled in the early 1840’s and was originally named Sydenham. The name change came shortly after in 1851. The largest city in Grey County, Owen Sound has a population of just over 21,000, a number that has remained relatively unchanged since the 1980’s. The once bustling town fueled by the ship manufacturing industry actually remained a dry town until 1972.</p>

We visited in July, 2016 and the plan was to feature these images on the site shortly after. You go on a trip for a week or more (in this case, closer to four weeks) and take so many photos and see so many things. At the time, you can’t wait to get home and feature them.</p>
<p>And you do. But, you can’t put up everything all at once. So, you start with some of the best stuff, even though all of it was the ‘best stuff’. Then, time goes by and you experience other things and get more content that you want to feature. Soon, you find that some of those great places you experienced get thrown on the back burner. Some get forgotten.</p>
<p>Sambaa Deh Falls does not deserve to get put on the back burner and definitely will never be forgotten once experienced. This is a majestic gauntlet of shear force that will simultaneously impress you and scare the shit out of you. Even though its right off the MacKenzie Highway, the fact that there are very, very few other humans within hundreds of kilometres becomes a very loud noise in your head – nearly as loud as the massive rushing volume of water. This is some hardcore nature and if you’re not careful it can be quite unforgiving. Take note of the cross in more than one picture in the gallery.</p>

<h2>Sambaa Deh Falls Image Gallery</h2>
<p>The images in the gallery were taken both north and south of the MacKenzie Highway. The image above shows that the MacKenzie Highway is nothing more than a gravel road at this point. These conditions stretch in both directions for a quite a distance.</p>
<p>For full-size, high resolution versions for any of the images in the gallery, simply click on the individual photos.</p>

<h3>Sambaa Deh Falls</h3>
<p>Sambaa Deh Falls means Trout River Falls in the Slavey language. It is the waters of the Trout River that form both Sambaa Deh Falls and Coral Falls, another waterfall located just upstream. The roadway seen crossing the Trout River is the MacKenzie Highway. The Sambaa Deh Falls Territorial Park is located just off the highway between Fort Providence and Fort Simpson.</p>
<p>The campground has 20 non-powered campsites that are set a bit away from the river, nestled in the trees. The park was created in 1992 and when we were there in July, 2016 it was run by an incredibly friendly family that lived locally. By locally, I mean their town was about a two hour drive away, although they had living quarters on site.</p>
<p>The river above Sambaa Deh Falls and below Coral Falls is much more peaceful than the gauntlet shown in the image gallery. A trail runs up the side of the river for views of the shorter, horseshoe shaped Coral Falls. Again, as you walk through the dense growth along the side of the river, you will come to the realization that there is not a single soul around, other than yourself. It’s something that’s both liberating and frightening.</p>
<p>We took a closer look at the upper falls already and you can check that out here: <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/coral-falls-nwt/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Coral Falls NWT</a>. Other great stops on the Waterfall Route of the Northwest Territories include <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/alexandra-falls-nwt/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Alexandra Falls</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtiHSArNlZU">Louise Falls</a> and <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/lady-evelyn-falls-territorial-park/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Lady Evelyn Falls</a>.</p>

Some of the waterfalls are rugged, intimidating beasts like <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/alexandra-falls-nwt/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Alexandra Falls</a>, Louise Falls and Sambaa Deh Falls. These cascades are beautiful but would be quite unforgiving if you ventured too close. Lady Evelyn Falls has all the majesty of these other waterfalls, yet is a bit tamer at the base, allowing a more intimate experience.</p>
<p>What Lady Evelyn Falls shares with Sambaa Deh Falls, and makes it more aesthetically pleasing than Alexandra and Louise, is crystal clear water. The other two waterfalls are on the Hay River which always seems to have a muddy brown hue to it.</p>
<p>The campground here is excellent with easy access to the waterfall. It contains all the amenities of home, like showers and flush toilets, and has trademark Northwest Territories low prices and low crowds.</p>

You won’t find a whole lot in Kakisa but you will get cellular service, something you will not get at the campground.</p>
<p>The Kakisa River has its headwaters in northern Alberta. Not far downstream from Lady Evelyn Falls, the river empties into the MacKenzie River. That water is then taken north to the Arctic Ocean.</p>
<p>The park is located 372 KM southwest of Yellowknife and 70 KM south of Fort Providence, at the <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/deh-cho-bridge/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Deh Cho Bridge</a>. Following the Waterfall Route from east to west, Lady Evelyn Falls is located 97 kilometres northwest of Enterprise (near the Alberta border).</p>
<p>The campground has 23 campsites, all with electricity. There are nice, modern showers, along with clean flush toilets and running water. However, the showers are not open 24/7 so make sure to check the hours when you arrive. Ample firewood is available at hardly a charge. This is one of the ways the contractors running the territorial parks can make a bit of extra money so don’t go skimpy on the wood! For those with RV’s and motorhomes, there is a dumping station on site.</p>
<p>Fishermen bring your rods and tackle. In the Kakisa River, there is Northern Pike, Walleye and Arctic Grayling to be caught. Swimmers, you are able to wade into the water below the falls and enjoy a swim. As the fences tell you, do not wade in above the falls!</p>
<p>If you can, get one of the campsites that back onto the Kakisa River above the waterfall. There is actually a shorter but fiercer drop above the main waterfall, adjacent to the furthest sites. It’s tough to see through the dense forest but the sound will definitely put you to sleep at night. The sites are normal sized by Northwest Territories standards but are nothing more than palatial by everyone else’s standards. They come in second for size, behind Twin Falls Territorial Park, home of Alexandra Falls and <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/louise-falls-nwt/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Louise Falls</a>.</p>

I can tell you where I won’t be visiting this year. You see, Canada’s National Parks are always busy, they don’t need a gimmick like this to drum up more business. As it is, this past summer, we got turned away from day use entry at <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/bruce-peninsula-cave-point/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Bruce Peninsula National Park</a> on a weekday morning because they were already at capacity. Visiting Jasper and Banff this summer was equally as busy. No thanks – I’ll wait until 2018.</p>
<p>The thing is, if you do a little research and keep your eyes open, there are some incredible natural places in Canada to visit that are not on the grounds of a National Park. Even better, they’re always free to visit, not just every 150 years. In this article, we’re going to narrow it down to waterfalls in Ontario. Even then, there are many more than just twelve that can be visited in the province with no entry fees.</p>
<p>What’s so great about a waterfall that you don’t have to pay to see? Is it less spectacular than one with a parking lot, gift shop, safe and secure viewing platform and a fee that increases on a yearly basis? No. In fact, they’re often much more spectacular because there is a raw, undisturbed beauty that you may even have to exert a bit of effort to see. Paved parking lots bring people. People necessitate over-the-top safety precautions. People demand food, drink, washrooms and shelter. Parking lots, people, safety precautions, food, drink, washrooms and shelter come at a cost. The cost is loss of that raw connection with nature and some money from your wallet.</p>

<h3>Indian Falls</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-indian-falls.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1439" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-indian-falls-300x200.jpg" alt="indian falls owen sound ontario" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-indian-falls-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-indian-falls-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-indian-falls-190x126.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-indian-falls-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-indian-falls-400x266.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Located just north of Owen Sound on Grey County Road 1, <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/indian-falls-owen-sound/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Indian Falls</a> actually comes with the washroom, shelter and parking lot but does not come with fees. The parking lot is disconnected from the waterfall by a somewhat rugged one kilometre trail to preserve that wilderness feel.</p>
<p>Indian Falls is about 45 feet high with a 25 foot crest. This is a curtain waterfall, meaning the water drops off a sharp ledge and is uninterrupted until it splashes into the pool at the base. The official trail takes you to the edge of the crest where the waters of Indian Creek are deceptively calm until the very edge. Unofficially, you can scramble up the creek bed to the base of the waterfall. And, really unofficially, you can walk behind the curtain.</p>
<p>This can be a seasonal waterfall with flow drastically reduced when there hasn’t been much rain. Indian Falls is also closed during the winter months.</p>
<p>There are many other waterfalls in this area that are no less magnificent and no more expensive. I believe the only one that that will cost is Inglis Falls. If you have the time, continue on County Road 1 along the shores of Georgian Bay to Wiarton. Along the way, Bruce’s Caves is a hidden gem that also is free to visit.<br />

<h3>Egan Chutes</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/egan-chutes-york-river-4.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3062" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/egan-chutes-york-river-4-300x200.jpg" alt="egan chutes provincial park bancroft ontario" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/egan-chutes-york-river-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/egan-chutes-york-river-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/egan-chutes-york-river-4-190x127.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/egan-chutes-york-river-4-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/egan-chutes-york-river-4-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>A little more off the beaten path and a little harder to find. <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/egan-chutes-provincial-park/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Egan Chutes Provincial Park</a> is a non-operating park located around ten kilometres east of Bancroft, where Highway 28 crosses the York River.</p>
<p>A non-operating provincial park in Ontario means the government owns the land for preservation purposes but there are no facilities and probably no plans for facilities. These outnumber operating parks and are actually some of the provinces best hidden secrets for truly finding nature.</p>
<p>There is a rough roadway off the highway to a clearing where you can park next to the river. A trail runs along the York River to Egan Chutes. This is a long, rugged waterfall that drops in stages of varying height. The waterfall is without barriers and can be explored extensively.<br />
<a name="recollet"></a></p>
<h3>Recollet Falls</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/recollet-falls-03.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2455" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/recollet-falls-03-300x200.jpg" alt="recollet falls french river provincial park" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/recollet-falls-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/recollet-falls-03-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/recollet-falls-03-190x126.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/recollet-falls-03-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/recollet-falls-03-400x266.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Many have stopped at the French River Provincial Park rest area along highway 69, between Parry Sound and Sudbury. Many have crossed the walking/snowmobile bridge across the river canyon from the modern visitor centre.</p>
<p>Few venture down the two kilometre trail that scrambles downstream before ending at <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/recollet-falls-french-river/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Recollet Falls</a>. This is not a high waterfall, probably in the ten foot range. However, the power and water volume can be pretty impressive.</p>
<p>Much of the French River Provincial Park lies beyond the end of the trail. Much of the provincial park can be accessed by water only. The visitor centre has a spacious paved parking lot with pit toilets outside and comfy flush toilets inside. I believe they might ask for donations inside the building but there is no fee to visit. The visitor centre is closed during the winter months but the parking lot remains open (yet, not incredible well maintained).<br />

<h3>Duchesnay Falls</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-08.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3330" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-08-300x200.jpg" alt="duchesnay falls north bay ontario long exposure water blur" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-08-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-08-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-08-190x127.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-08-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-08-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>At the far west end of North Bay, <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/duchesnay-falls-north-bay/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Duchesnay Falls</a> is a hidden gem that sits relatively right out in the open. The waterfall is on the north side of Highway 17, aka the Trans Canada Highway. There is a well maintained parking lot right off the highway but no signage saying what that parking lot is for. The waterfall is right there but hidden from view by the heavy cover of trees.</p>
<p>Duchesnay Creek makes several drops over a fair distance with the two largest drops at about 15 feet high, each. The creek twists and turns in a complicated journey through the solid rock of the Canadian Shield. Not far after passing underneath the highway, the water empties into Lake Nipissing.</p>
<p>The trails run on both sides of the waterfall and continue upstream onto the grounds of Canadore College / Nipissing University. An excellent time to visit is when the leaves turn colours in the fall. I’ve passed by in the winter but the waterfall was just a frozen mass, buried under feet of snow.<br />
<a name="rockway"></a></p>
<h3>Rockway Falls</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-rockway-falls.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1443" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-rockway-falls-300x208.jpg" alt="rockway falls st. catherines ontario" width="300" height="208" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-rockway-falls-300x208.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-rockway-falls-1024x712.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-rockway-falls-190x132.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-rockway-falls-60x41.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/local-gem-rockway-falls-400x278.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/rockway-falls/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Rockway Falls</a> comes as relief from the crowds of nearby Niagara Falls. Located southwest of <a href="https://youtu.be/XK5Ffesjbq8">St. Catherines, Ontario</a> on Pelham Road, parking is free at the adjacent Rockway Community Centre.</p>
<p>A trail leads you downstream, atop the cliff created by the Niagara Escarpment. Not far downstream, the cliff subsides enough for a trail to reach the bed of 15 Mile Creek. From that point, simply scramble back upstream to the base of the waterfall. The many smaller drops along the creek, heading to the main waterfall, are a treat that should not be overlooked.</p>
<p>Rockway Falls is not Niagara Falls but still pretty impressive. This is a cascade style, or maybe even closer to a fan style waterfall, ending in a pool at the base. You can walk right to the base. The height of the waterfall is around 45 feet and the crest is 15 feet.<br />

<h3>Scenic High Falls On Magpie River</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/magpie-river-scenic-high-falls-05.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3827" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/magpie-river-scenic-high-falls-05-300x200.jpg" alt="scenic high falls on magpie river wawa ontario" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/magpie-river-scenic-high-falls-05-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/magpie-river-scenic-high-falls-05-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/magpie-river-scenic-high-falls-05-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/magpie-river-scenic-high-falls-05-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>When you’re traveling the Trans Canada Highway from Sault Ste. Marie to the Manitoba border, you’re always on the lookout for your next rest stop. There are some beautiful spots along the shores of Lake Superior, right on the highway. However, if you’re around Wawa, it’s definitely worth the short 1.5 kilometre detour to check out <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/magpie-scenic-high-falls/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Magpie Falls</a>.</p>
<p>There is a sign on the highway, but not a big one. Just south of Wawa, a gravel road leads away from the main highway, traveling 1.5 KM to Scenic High Falls. The road ends at a well-maintained parking lot with a covered shelter.</p>
<p>From the parking lot, you don’t necessarily even have to get out of your vehicle to check out the waterfall. There are walking trails going both upstream and downstream. You can walk to the crest of Magpie Falls, although a chain-link fence comes between you and the water.<br />

<h3>Fenelon Falls</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/04-fenelon-falls.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2278" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/04-fenelon-falls-300x200.jpg" alt="fenelon falls daytime long exposure" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/04-fenelon-falls-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/04-fenelon-falls-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/04-fenelon-falls-190x126.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/04-fenelon-falls-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/04-fenelon-falls-400x266.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Okay, not the most natural setting but it’s beautiful in its own way. And, the town of <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/fenelon-falls-the-jewel-of-the-kawarthas/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Fenelon Falls</a> is against charging for parking. The town of 1,800 permanent residents is dubbed ‘The Jewel of the Kawarthas’ and swells in population during the summer months.</p>
<p>This is the location of Lock 34 in the Trent Severn Waterway, connecting Sturgeon Lake to the east with Cameron Lake to the west. The waterfall runs parallel to the locks and it’s the power of the water being released from the locks, enhanced by being covered by the car bridge above, that may be the more impressive feature.<br />

<h3>Eugenia Falls</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/eugenia-falls-long-exposure.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1867" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/eugenia-falls-long-exposure-300x200.jpg" alt="eugenia falls long exposure waterblur" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/eugenia-falls-long-exposure-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/eugenia-falls-long-exposure-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/eugenia-falls-long-exposure-190x126.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/eugenia-falls-long-exposure-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/eugenia-falls-long-exposure-400x266.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Visit in spring and early summer. This is probably the best advice for anyone wanting to check out <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/eugenia-falls-high-water/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Eugenia Falls</a>. The waterfall is an impressive 90 feet high but the 30 foot crest can be reduced to a trickle as summer wears on.</p>
<p>Located in Eugenia, just northeast of Flesherton, the waterfall is part of a conservation area that comes with a parking lot, shelters, pit toilets and no fees. The base can unofficially be reached by taking the trail downstream from the waterfall until the cliff subsides enough to get down to the bed of the Beaver River. It is then a fairly strenuous rock scramble back up the river bed. When wet or in when the water is high, this may not be an option.</p>
<p>Eugenia is about 50 kilometres southeast of Owen Sound. Nearby <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/hoggs-falls/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Hoggs Falls</a> should also be visited when exploring Eugenia Falls. Both are along the Bruce Trail system.<br />

<h3>Eau Claire Gorge Falls</h3>

<p>Eau Claire Gorge Conservation Area is located on Peddler’s drive after going south on Highway 630 from the main Highway 17. This park has a parking lot, picnic tables and pit toilets. Trails lead to the gorge and waterfall.</p>
<p>The waterfall is around 35 feet high with a crest around 50 feet. Located on the Amable du Fond River, this a long, rugged waterfall that curves around a cliff. You can put your toes in the rushing water at several points but you do not want to be swept away by this torrent.<br />

<h3>Muskoka High Falls</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/muskoka-high-falls.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3191" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/muskoka-high-falls-300x200.jpg" alt="muskoka high falls bracebridge ontario canada" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/muskoka-high-falls-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/muskoka-high-falls-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/muskoka-high-falls-190x127.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/muskoka-high-falls-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/muskoka-high-falls-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>If you’re traveling on the four lane, limited access Highway 11 at Bracebridge, you most likely won’t see this powerful waterfall. Why? <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/muskoka-high-falls/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Muskoka High Falls</a> is located nearly below the highway bridge. Taking the Highway 117 exit, there is a single lane gravel road leading to a spacious picnic area. At the back of the picnic area, the waterfall is within a very short walk.</p>
<p>This is a powerful waterfall but can be easily and closely approached. Beware, it is definitely dangerous. In August, 2015, a swimmer was swept downstream on the North Branch of the Muskoka River and over the waterfall. His body was later found below the falls.</p>
<p>Be sure to take in adjacent Potts Falls, a gentle cascade located in a fairy tail setting amongst the pines nearby.<br />

<h3>Onaping High Falls</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/P1010216.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-50" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/P1010216-300x225.jpg" alt="onaping falls sudbury ontario canada" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/P1010216-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/P1010216-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/P1010216-190x142.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/P1010216-60x45.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/P1010216-400x300.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/onaping-falls-revisited/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Onaping Falls</a> drops some 150 feet over a long distance with the final, and most photographed, drop being around 30 feet. This is an incredible waterfall to explore as you scramble along the rock through endless nooks and crannies. Beware, the rock is incredibly hard and smooth and is quite slippery when wet.</p>
<p>Located on Highway 144, about 35 kilometres northwest of the centre of Sudbury, on the long road that will take you to Timmins. The parking lot is right off the highway with modern washrooms and picnic areas close by.</p>
<p>A bridge crossed the river at the top of the waterfall and trails take you into the forest on the lesser visited side of the Onaping River.<br />

<h3>Elora Tooth of Time</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/elora01.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1223" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/elora01-300x200.jpg" alt="elora ontario grand river tooth of time waterfall" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/elora01-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/elora01-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/elora01-190x126.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/elora01-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/elora01-400x266.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Not exactly a wilderness setting, the <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/elora-tooth-of-time/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Tooth of Time</a> waterfall is located within the town of Elora on the Grand River. The name comes from the now cement reinforced islet rock that sits in the middle of the waterfall.</p>
<p>There are trails on both sides of the river that take you near the waterfall and further down the Elora Gorge. In fact, you can walk into the Elora Gorge Conservation Area from here, a park locally famous for its river tubing.</p>
<p>From the north side, you can walk in via Irvine Creek. If you don’t mind getting a little wet, you can get close to the base. The site is popular with Kayak enthusiasts.</p>
<p>Last I visited, you could park on the south side of the river and walk in through the old factory ruins. However, I believe there were plans to redevelop this land as residential so I’m not sure if the trail is still as easily accessible.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scenic High Falls on the Magpie River, not even a tiny dot on the map. You know, when they something is large, they say it’s ‘Texas sized’. Well, Texas ain’t got nothing on Ontario.</p>
<p>1,600 kilometres or 1,000 miles from east to west. 1.08 million square kilometres. Texas comes up short with the longest east to west distance at 1,230km or 762 miles and an area of 695,662 square kilometres.</p>
<p>My point? When driving out to northwestern Canada from the Greater Toronto Area, your biggest demon is going to be the drive through your own province. It will take at least two days and you will need to stop for rest frequently. You’re not driving on the six lane 401. The Trans Canada Highway is a roller coaster of a road that takes considerable effort. And, you will not be able to speed along at 120kmh, either.</p>
<p>In saying that, there area a lot of places to stop that will blow your mind. Scenic High Falls is one of them. By clicking the images in the gallery, you can get the full size versions. Below is some detailed information on the waterfall and surrounding area. Below that is an HD video taken the same day.</p>

<h3>Magpie High Falls</h3>
<p>Located just outside Wawa, Ontario on the Magpie River, this waterfall is 75 feet in height and has a crest of 125 feet. When approaching Wawa on Highway 17 (Trans Canada Highway), look hard for the signs pointing to Scenic High Falls. After a fairly short journey down a narrow gravel road, you will find yourself in a quiet parking lot at the base of the falls.</p>
<p>The park was created in 1989 by the Rotary Club of Wawa. It is free to visit and there are washrooms and a pavilion on site. A trail leads downstream, through the Magpie River Gorge to Silver Falls and beyond. Not too far downstream, the Magpie Rive empties into Lake Superior.</p>
<p>The waterfall is dammed at the top and is no longer a natural waterfall. However, the man-made portion is hardly visible from the park area. You can make your way up the waterfall to get a better look at the dam and reservoir above.</p>
<h3>Wawa, Ontario</h3>
<p>Located at the junction of Highway 17 and Highway 101, Wawa has a population of around 3,000. That number is down drastically from nearly 6,000 in the 1990’s. The town is not on Lake Superior but on Wawa Lake, inland from the harsh elements of the greatest of the Great Lakes.</p>
<p>If you travel south on Highway 17 (Trans Canada Highway), you are heading to Sault Ste. Marie. If you travel north and west, you’re on your way to Thunder Bay. If you go east on Ontario Highway 101, you are on your way to Timmins and the Quebec border.</p>
<p>Wawa was first developed as a fur trading town, established in 1899. Later, it became prosperous due to gold and iron ore mining. The town is home to a 8.5 metre or 28 foot tall Canada Goose statue that was built in 1960.</p>

<h2>Letchworth State Park</h2>
<p>Letchworth State Park is located in the northwestern portion of the state of New York. The park is located 35 miles south of Rochester and 60 miles southeast of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRGlcR9XFRM">Buffalo, NY</a>. For Canadians, the drive from Toronto can be as short as 2.5 hours, depending on traffic and delays at the border. This makes it an equidistant camping and outdoors option to <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/algonquin-provincial-park/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Algonquin Provincial Park</a>.</p>
<p>The park contains 14,350 acres of land in a narrow strip of both sides of the Genesee River. From end to end, the distance is around 17 miles. The distance from the main camping area to the main waterfall attraction area is a lofty 11 to 12 miles.</p>
<p>Dubbed the ‘Grand Canyon of the East’, the steep rock walls on either side of the river reach heights of up to 550 feet above the river bed. Along this stretch are the featured attractions, the three main waterfalls reaching heights of 70 to 107 feet.</p>
<p>As mentioned, the campground is a good distance from the main attractions. However, each of the 270 sites at Highbanks Tent and Trailer Area are roomy, treed and come with electrical hookups. For my Canadian friends, and those Americans not from New York, there is a $5 per night surcharge for all out of state visitors per campsite. This is New York State Park policy and not one I agree with but whatcha gonna do?</p>
<p>There are also 81 cabins throughout the park available for rent and there are other lodgings at a handful of inns.</p>
<p>The ball got rolling on this state park back in 1856. That was the year William Pryor Letchworth bought a 1,000 acre parcel of land adjacent to the middle falls. He built a still standing historic inn on the site. In 1906, four years before his death, William gave the estate to the state of New York. In 1907, Letchworth State Park was created.</p>

<h3>Upper Genesee Falls and Portage Viaduct</h3>
<p>The upper falls are located just downstream from the historic Portage Viaduct. This is classified as a horseshoe cascade and is 70 feet in height. The crest is also 70 feet. Known as Upper Genesee Falls, along with Upper Letchworth Falls, or just Upper Falls, this waterfall may not be the biggest but it certainly may be the most picturesque.</p>
<p>The Portage Viaduct is the train bridge seen above the waterfall. This steel bridge was constructed in 1875 and is 820 feet long with a height of 240 feet. The railway is owned by Norfolk Southern Railway. There are plans to demolish the bridge with a new one already under construction just 75 feet upstream.</p>
<p>We did a little off trail hiking to get to the edge of the bridge, seen below. However, we honoured the ‘No Trespassing’ signs and did not cross the bridge – mostly because we could hear train horns in the distance. It seems that ignoring the signs is fairly popular and from what I’ve seen, the overhead view of Upper Genesee Falls is spectacular.</p>
<p>There is some sort of movement to stop the destruction of this historic structure and convert it to a walking bridge. Funding of upgrades seems to be a sticky point. For more info on the history, <a href="http://www.rochestersubway.com/topics/2016/02/save-letchworth-park-rail-bridge/#more-12180" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rochester Subway</a> is a great website with massive details on this and many more treasures in upstate New York.</p>

<h3>Middle Genesee Falls</h3>
<p>This is the ‘Niagara Falls’ of the three. Middle Falls is located steps away from the Glen Iris Inn, the building that started it all back in the 1800’s. The waterfall is 107 feet in height and has a crest of around 200 feet. There are several vantage points from where to view the waterfall and it is illuminated at night, a la Niagara Falls.</p>

<a name="point"></a></p>
<h3>Inspiration Point</h3>
<p>Inspiration Point is an area not far downstream from Middle Falls. This is the location of Inspiration Falls, by some standards, the highest waterfall in New York state at 350 feet. However, it is nothing more than a drain pipe that flows only during heavy rainfall. It can be seen from the west side of the river as a few feet of spray before disappearing below the top of cliff. From the west side, it appears as a wet stain on the rock.</p>
<p>This is still worth a stop and look, though. Inspiration Point offers a unique view of both Middle and Upper Falls, along with the Portage Viaduct.</p>
<p>By the way, <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/taughannock-falls-state-park/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Taughannock Falls</a>, not far to the east, is widely considered New York’s tallest waterfall.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/letchworth-inspiration-point-view/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3620" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/letchworth-inspiration-point-view-1024x683.jpg" alt="letchworth state park inspiration point" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/letchworth-inspiration-point-view-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/letchworth-inspiration-point-view-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/letchworth-inspiration-point-view-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/letchworth-inspiration-point-view-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a><br />

<h3>Lower Genesee Falls</h3>
<p>For me, this was the main event. Lower Falls is a 70 foot cascade waterfall with a crest that fluctuates in and around the 150 foot mark. The draw was the unique shape and the fact that you could easily go renegade and put your fingers right in the crest as it falls into the void.</p>
<p>Of course, we did get in trouble here by a park worker. I couldn’t hear him that great over the sound of the waterfall but he mentioned something about a girl being paralyzed in an incident on the very spot just two years before. He was a good guy, though, and seemed generally concerned about the safety of the visitors.</p>
<p>Just below the lower falls is the only bridge that crosses the river within the park. A simply stone arch crosses that very fast moving waters of the Genesee River between Table Rock and Cathedral Rock. It’s said that as recent as the 1800’s, the lower falls was located at this point. The stone walking bridge is similar to the Lord of the Rings type scene you find at not so far away Watkins Glen in the centre of the Finger Lakes Region.</p>
<p>Cathedral Rock is another popular trespassers spot in the park. You’re not supposed to climb but there was never a point when we didn’t see at least a person at the top.</p>

<h3>Mt. Morris Dam</h3>
<p>Mt. Morris Dam is located near the northern end of the park, between Highbanks Tent and Trailer Area and the Mt. Morris entrance. Completed in 1952 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, this a flood control dam and not for hydro electric generation. Typically, the level of the river is the same on either side of the dam, unless there is high chance of flooding.</p>
<p>The Genesee River flows into Lake Ontario at Rochester, New York. Without the dam, it is said there would have billions of dollars damage to the city throughout the years. The river has it’s headwaters in Northern Pennsylvania and is 157 miles long.</p>

<p>After Hurricane Agnes in 1972, the dam was at its fullest it has ever been. The waters held back nearly reached the top of the canyon. Below, there is an image of Hog’s Back Ridge, a unique formation not far upstream from the Mt. Morris Dam. In 1972, with the Hurricane Agnes flood water, the ridge was reduced to a thin island, barely showing above the waterline.</p>

<h3>Barber House Ruins</h3>
<p>Speaking of trespassing… If you are visiting Letchworth State Park and want to see something really cool, and more than a bit spooky, you should drive by the Barber House, aka the Gath Mansion. This is an abandoned mansion from the 1800’s that may have just a few short years left before it’s gone. Yes, it’s on private property. Yes, this doesn’t deter people from checking it out and it didn’t stop us. Take a look at our images, along with more detailed information, here: <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/barber-house-gath-mansion/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">The Barber House Ruins</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been trying to get to this spot for a while. I made an attempt in February, 2015 while heading to <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/sudbury-ontario/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Sudbury, Ontario</a>. I thought I’d take a bit of a detour and head up highway 11 to North Bay then across highway 17 (Trans Canada Highway) through Sturgeon Falls to Sudbury. Along the way, I’d stop and explore Duchesnay Falls.</p>
<p>Well, I know little of winters in Northern Ontario, apparently. The temperature dropped steadily as I drove north. By the time I got to North Bay, it was -25C. When I got to Duchesnay Falls, the parking lot hadn’t been plowed in some time and the waterfall looked to be in a snow covered deep freeze.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-01.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3323" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-01-1024x683.jpg" alt="duchesnay falls north bay ontario" width="510" height="340" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-01-190x127.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-01-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-01-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px" /></a></p>
<p>Fast forward to mid October, 2015. Once again, I take the highway 11 / highway 17 detour to Sudbury. Once again, the weather turns to crap on the day I need to go north. It’s the first lake effect snow of the season. Streamers are coming off Georgian Bay and off Lake Nipissing.</p>
<p>However, by the time I get to North Bay, the sun is out and the weather, although a bit chilly, seems to want to cooperate. When I pull into the unmarked parking lot at Duchesnay Falls, Mother Nature is finally on my side.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-02.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3324" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-02-683x1024.jpg" alt="duchesnay falls north bay ontario" width="510" height="765" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-02-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-02-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-02-127x190.jpg 127w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-02-53x80.jpg 53w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-02-223x335.jpg 223w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px" /></a></p>
<h2>Duchesnay Falls</h2>
<p>Duchesnay Falls is immediately north of the Trans Canada Highway. It sort of can be seen from the road. However, this is a long and twisted Canadian Shield style waterfall with lots of drops, curves and pools. What you see from the road is a fraction of reality.</p>
<p>The parking lot is paved, on the north side of the road and within walking distance of the North Bay Regional Health Centre, Nipissing University and Canadore College, all on the western edge of town.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-03.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3325" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-03-1024x683.jpg" alt="duchesnay falls north bay ontario" width="510" height="340" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-03-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-03-190x127.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-03-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-03-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px" /></a></p>
<p>The thing is, if you didn’t know what you were looking for, there is no sign to tell you what’s there. There is but one sign in the whole area surrounding the waterfall and that is to warn not to swim. This warning comes at an opportune spot, just above a pool located about halfway down. These pools look tranquil but they’re inches away from another rocky plunge.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-04.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3326" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-04-683x1024.jpg" alt="duchesnay falls north bay ontario" width="510" height="765" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-04-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-04-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-04-127x190.jpg 127w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-04-53x80.jpg 53w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-04-223x335.jpg 223w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px" /></a></p>
<p>In the above image, you can see what I believe to be the lone sign. You can also see the waters of Lake Nipissing on the horizon.</p>
<p>These images were taken on the main, west, channel of Duchesnay Creek. There is an east branch of the creek that runs parallel to the west at points but it was nothing more than a trickle 1-2 feet wide at this visit.</p>
<p>I couldn’t find much in the way of stats when it came to Duchesnay Falls. Length is over 100 feet and there are several drops. There are two drops that are much bigger than the others and these two have heights from 15 to 20 feet.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-05.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3327" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-05-1024x683.jpg" alt="duchesnay falls north bay ontario" width="510" height="340" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-05-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-05-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-05-190x127.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-05-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-05-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px" /></a></p>
<p>The trails on either side of the waterfall are part of system that extends out from Nipissing University and Canadore College. At what can be considered the top of the waterfall, there is a walking bridge across (pictured below). There is no warnings here but I read, I believe on the university’s web site, that the bridge is in a state of disrepair and caution should be exercised. I survived the crossing…</p>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-06.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3328" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-06-1024x683.jpg" alt="duchesnay falls walking bridge" width="510" height="340" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-06-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-06-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-06-190x127.jpg 190w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-06-60x40.jpg 60w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-06-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px" /></a></p>
<p>Looking to compare Duchesnay Falls with similar waterfalls in the extended area, I would say it’s a bit like a smaller version of <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/onaping-falls-revisited/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Onaping High Falls</a>, northwest of Sudbury. However, with its twists and turns, along with its water volume, I would say it would be more like <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/ragged-falls/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Ragged Falls</a> at Ragged Falls and Oxtonge River Provincial Park, at the western edge of <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/algonquin-provincial-park/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">Algonquin Provincial Park</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-07.jpg#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3329" src="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-07-683x1024.jpg" alt="duchesnay falls north bay ontario" width="510" height="765" srcset="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-07-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-07-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-07-127x190.jpg 127w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-07-53x80.jpg 53w, https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/duchesnay-falls-07-223x335.jpg 223w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px" /></a></p>
<p>Perhaps, it’s best just not to compare and realize this is a unique natural spectacle. I only spent about an hour here but could have stayed all day. The colour of the leaves helped but I can see these being a shutterbug’s paradise anytime of year.</p>

<p>I was able to throw on a <a href="https://www.itsabouttravelling.com/polaroid-variable-nd-filter/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">ND filter</a> for some longer exposure shots. Once again, I could have done that all day long. Most that I took were not overly long exposure. With the speed of the water, the shots included in this article are no more than a few seconds. That texture, as opposed to the milky look associated with 20-30 second or longer exposures, has become my new favourite.</p>

<p>Folks from the south (aka the Greater Toronto Area), there may be a legitimate reason why there is no signage for this location. They might really be trying to keep us from visiting. This is a clean, garbage free area. This is also a barrier free area. Even in dry conditions, the rocks can be slippery and a fall (as proven this summer when a jogger lost his footing and fell down a cliff) can be extremely dangerous.</p>
<p>If you are visiting, for goodness sake, respect the environment and the people!</p>

<p>The image above is the view from near the highway. Pretty spectacular but there’s some much more.</p>
<p>The sign below is what you see looking east from the parking lot. North Bay is so close yet you certainly get a bit of a wilderness feel from this location.</p>

<p>The HD video below shows the many twists and turns to the waterfall and is well worth a look. If you like what you see, be sure to share and give a thumb’s up – I would be eternally grateful!</p>
