Very icy on the day we visited, but a great easy trail with two beautiful waterfalls. Would love to come back in another season. Great visitor center with clean bathrooms.
I've gone for walks and hikes alike here multiple times and always find it to be a nice surrounding. I recently stumbled across the Wind Phone and thought it was a unique and thoughtful thing to find in the forest. Many of these trails bring you along a really beautiful section of the escarpment.
Easy walk around the falls and over to the old village - which is definitely worth stopping at for a few minutes. Good for kids (at least those old enough to stay on the path) and dogs. Could be slippery in the colder weather so that should be considered as there are some inclines. Off season parking price is cheaper than summer (it seems).
Beautiful falls to visit even in winter. Easy trails, cute village. Will come back to explore more.
Beautiful conservation area with access to two waterfalls. I suggest visiting in the spring or after heavier rains as flow at both the upper and lower falls is very weather dependent. I have visited in the spring, summer and fall and I have found May and October to be the best months for viewing. Parking cost is minimal compared to viewing. Can also be used as a starting point for hiking portions of the Bruce Trail during daytime hours.
