Waterfalls Of Ontario - Videos of Waterfalls from Ontario Canada

In today's waterfall adventure we’re exploring Cataract Falls in the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park in Caledon, Ontario. Photo Gallery: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/cataract-falls-waterfall Located just a stones throw from the small village of Cataract and found inside a provincial park, Cataract Falls is a welcome site to come across while hiking the parks trails. Getting to the base of the falls can be a challenge, join me as I explore the waterfall from the base, the crest and the ruins that surround this waterfall. Cataract Falls, also known as Smiths Falls is located where the Credit River spills 21 metres over a 9 meter wide edge of the Niagara Escarpment. The Credit River was named by 17th-century French traders because they would pay the natives for furs a full season in advance. Just beyond the falls is the Village of Cataract which was a booming village in the 1800s thanks to three local quarries employing 400 men to extract stone that was used in several noteworthy structures, including Toronto's Casa Loma, old City Hall, the Provincial Legislature at Queen's Park and some of the buildings of the University of Toronto. Cataract Falls waterfall is surrounded by ruins from its days as a source of hydroelectric power.. A sawmill and two grist mills stood on this site, built around 1820, the site was then converted for the production of electricity, called the Cataract Electric Company. The station was purchased by Ontario Hydro before being shut down in the 1940s when it was determined to be too inefficient to continue generating hydroelectric power Join me at all of my Waterfall Platforms: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/WaterfallsOntario https://www.reddit.com/r/Waterfalls_Of_Ontario/ https://www.instagram.com/ontariowaterfalls/ Join my Waterfall Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/waterfallsontario If you enjoy my content and would like support my channel, you can support via donations at these links, all donations go back into the hobby: Support my Patreon and get free Stuff!- https://www.patreon.com/Freaktography One Time Small Donations - https://ko-fi.com/freaktography

Onaping Falls, sometimes also known as Onaping High Falls or High Falls, is located in the town of Onaping Falls, west of Sudbury, Ontario. See the photo gallery here: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/onaping-falls-waterfall You’ll be amazed at the landscape here as the Onaping River drops over 150 feet, gliding over a number of cascades and creating quite the spectacle. As far as hiking goes, the trail itself to the water can be a BIT challenging depending on your skills. If you don’t want to hike, there are lookouts that offer incredible views of the entire waterfall that are easy to access and are wheelchair accessible. I recently learned that the area around Onaping Falls is a part of the Sudbury Basin, one of the most famous geological features in the world. A giant meteorite touched down in this area, making an impact crater that dates back to almost 2 billion years ago. While it doesn’t seem like much of a crater now due to erosion and other natural forces, as you drive from Sudbury to the A.Y. Jackson Lookout at Onaping Falls, you cross this crater. There are testaments to the geological history as well as fragments of the meteorite impact beside the Onaping Falls parking lot. I really enjoyed my explore of Onaping Falls waterfall, I arrived at a great time of day that allowed me to enjoy the scenery during the late evening, golden hour and sunset.

Fourth Falls is so far, my farthest and most remote waterfall. Just getting here was a crazy adventure. I drive a Kia, and a Kia is not known for its clearance and ability to navigate Northern Ontario roads! I plot my coordinates into my Google Maps and start driving, all is going well as I drive the Concession #3. Google Maps seems to show a road that almost leads directly to the waterfall, but boy was the map wrong! I turn onto a dirt road from the concession, taking me deep into a forested area, bumps, rocks, potholes, hills, overgrowth that consumes the whole road and even some flooding in parts of the road. If I hit a dead end or a washout, there is nowhere turn around and I have to drive in reverse all the way out. Even worse, if I bottom out, get stuck or blow a tire, there's no cell phone service to call CAA so I will be stuck walking back to the road to wave down a local with a truck, or find cell service to call for back up! Slowly, carefully, I navigate this rough terrain where I finally come to a dead end, my GPS says the drive is about another 5 minutes, but the road ends here and I have to walk the rest of the way in. Fully aware that I am not only deep in black fly country but also bear country, I lather on the bug spray, place a bug net over my head and mount my air horn to my shoulder strap in the event of a run in with Smokey the Bear. It takes me about 20-30 minutes to hike this rough terrain down a gradual and the steep rocky decline into the forest. Finally I start to hear the familiar sound of rushing water and just like that, the trail ends and the forest opens up to a vast beautiful rock formation that takes me right into this beautiful natural and wild waterfall, I've finally made it! I place my gear down, sit on a rock and take this sight in, I am now alone in the most remote and beautiful place I have ever seen, in my entire life! I need to soak in this moment, let it sink in and make the trek in worth it. Watch the video and I hope I've managed to do the beauty of this waterfall some justice!

Kap-Kig-Iwan is a name derived from the Ojibwe phrase for “high falls” or “water running over the edge,” Kap-Kig-Iwan Provincial park is the home of several waterfalls. The Hell’s Gate Trail includes waterfalls ranging from wide expanses of river with short drops to the roaring main falls. Whitewater rapids connected these special spots and rock steps guide visitors down to the best spots for photos. Photo Gallery: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/kap-kig-iwan-falls-waterfall This waterfall adventure was my first major waterfall of the summer season and what a great start this was. I often will do quick research of waterfalls in a geographic area before I head out but that research is limited, so getting here I had no idea what I was heading into. At the parking lot, there are some rapids and a small waterfall, pretty and enjoyable, but nothing mind blowing. However, as you walk the trails you can see another cascade up ahead, so I headed in that direction. I was quickly in awe of my surroundings and so happy to be here at the large and roaring main waterfall. Kap-Kig-Iwan Falls is a must-see if you're in the area and the trails, paths, steps and rand rails make it a very easy explore.

Progreston Falls is a terraced curtain waterfall located in the Carlisle section of Hamilton, Ontario. It is on private property, and is not easily accessible for viewing unless permission from the owner is obtained. See my Photo Gallery Here: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/progreston-falls-waterfall Its height is 6.7 metres or 22 feet, and its width is 16.5 metres or 54 feet. Progreston Falls is situated in the Bronte Creek near Progreston Road, below a railway bridge, and has a year round flow. Once known as one of the most active milling spots along the Twelve Mile Creek, the community of Progreston deteriorated rapidly as the twentieth century progressed, and by the 1950s was reduced to a handful of residents and the Bennett feed mill, which stood on the ruins of an older mill. Progreston was once a manufacturing centre on account of the available water power, but times changed, and a Fire wiped out all of the main mills.

Episode #34: Exploring Cordova Falls Waterfalls, Upper, Middle and Lower Cordova Falls is a perfect place to explore waterfalls. There are at least three waterfalls/chutes along this stretch of the Cordova River, which drops a total of 28 metres. The largest, Upper Cordova Falls is found immediately below a dam at the southern outlet of Cordova Lake. Here, the Crowe River tumbles down a narrow rocky channel perhaps 100 metres long. The river drops about 10 metres, falling not as one main cascade, but rather in at least five distinct smaller drops, separated by short pools. By walking along a poorly marked trail leading south from the dam, you can get to the lower reaches of the falls. Middle Cordova Falls is perhaps the most photogenic of the three waterfalls, forming a pretty five-metre-high cascade set among cedars and hemlocks. It is partially hidden behind the Cordova Lake Hydroelectric Generating Station, and is difficult to view up close without a little adventuring. A portion of the river’s discharge that would have flowed over these falls is diverted at the upper falls and delivered 200 metres to the hydroelectric plant by a long, wooden penstock. Opened in 1992, the station generates a peak output of 780 kW, which is enough to power about 50 homes. Lower Cordova Falls are the smallest, but are located beside a beautiful rock-floored clearing in the woods. You’ll find them hidden at the end of a short driveway on the right side of the road a few minutes’ drive further south. is perhaps the most photogenic of the three waterfalls, forming a pretty five-metre-high cascade set among cedars and hemlocks.

Flinton Ontario is a hamlet in Lennox and Addington County in Eastern Ontario, Canada. The population is about 500, and it was founded by Billa Flint. The community is on the Skootamatta River whose falls were used to power many mills. Flinton Falls Photo Gallery: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/flinton-falls-waterfall The village was built to house Billa Flint's employees, working at his mill on the river, which powered the entire community. Ruins of the mill can be seen at the Flinton Falls waterfall at the Flinton Conservation Area The Skootamatta cascades over the dam and takes a sharp left south and rushes under the bridge. This is a very popular spot for kayakers! Also found in the Flinton Conservation Area, are the remains of a dam and powerhouse that once provided early hydro-electric power to the community and to the nearby mines. Built in the early 1900's, the dam on the Skootamatta River at Flinton Falls was built out of concrete. The water was channeled through two spillways where the force was used to turn two turbines, which can still be seen. Much of the structure remains intact and is very photogenic most times of the year.

This hidden gem is nestled in the Felker’s Falls Conservation Area in the city’s eastern neighbourhood of Stoney Creek. Felker’s Falls flows over the edge of the Niagara Escarpment revealing a tall and impressive ribbon waterfall as well as significant geological rock formations in the bedrock gorge. It’s also close to other nearby waterfalls worth exploring.

Nestled in the forest on the shore of Meech Lake, the Carbide Wilson Ruins have a unique history. The ruins are the last remaining traces of a fertilizer plant constructed by little-known inventor, Thomas Leopold Willson. Photo Gallery: https://freaktography.net/carbide-willson-ruins The complex originally included three buildings: an acid condensation tower, a dam and a generating station. Unfortunately, the ruins were never preserved. The tower was destroyed by fire and, today, only its foundation remains. In 1907, Thomas Leopold Willson purchased 460 acres of land at Meech Lake for his summer home. He used the site to advance his research on nitrogen. Four years later, he built the dam, generating station and an acid condensation tower near his home, on the shore of Meech Lake. The entire complex formed a superphosphate fertilizer plant. Unfortunately, in 1915, while in New York City trying to raise new venture capital, Willson collapsed in the middle of the street, struck down by a heart attack.

Episode #30: Hog's Back Falls Waterfall | Exploring Ontario's Waterfalls. Hog's Back Falls, officially known as the Prince of Wales Falls, but rarely referred to by this name, are a series of artificial waterfalls on the Rideau River in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The falls are located just north of Mooney's Bay and the point where the Rideau Canal splits from the Rideau River. While not even close to the kind of waterfall I like to visit, I was passing through Ottawa from Quebec and decided to make a stop. The weather in Ottawa was warming up, making for a nice bit of flow over the waterfall, although there was still a great deal of snow. I wouldn't go out of your way for this one, however if you're in the area or passing through, it's a nice stop Photo Gallery: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/hogs-back-falls-waterfall Visit my all new waterfall website and see all of the waterfalls I visit https://www.waterfallsontario.com/ Waterfalls: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/WaterfallsOntario https://www.reddit.com/r/Waterfalls_Of_Ontario/ https://www.instagram.com/ontariowaterfalls/ Join my Waterfall Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/waterfallfreaks/ Get 10% off of all Lume Cube Products with the code FREAKPHOTO at this link: https://glnk.io/nn4/freaktography #waterfalls #ontariowaterfalls #WaterfallsOnYouTube #WaterfallVideos

Decew Falls is a beautiful wild waterfall in St Catherines, Ontario, there are actually three cascades to see here - The main waterfall at Decew Falls - Just beside Decew Falls is a small waterfall that some call “Tunnel Falls - Lower Decew Falls which can be found downstream from Decew Decew Falls Photo Gallery https://www.waterfallsontario.com/decew-falls-waterfall Depending on which way you take in, the visit will be an adventure either way, you could choose the long way in, which I highly recommend. This route requires you to park quite a ways away from the waterfall and take an adventurous hike in. On the way, you will cross the ruins of an old abandoned bridge followed by some rapids and finally I stop at the beautiful Lower Decew Falls. Once you have enjoyed your time at Lower Decew the hike continues towards Decew Falls, you will soon hear it and see it in the distance. But, before you hit Decew you will pass the man made “Tunnel Falls”, this is a small waterfall made from water that runs from a pipe in the escarpment running from the nearby hydroelectric plant. Finally you will have reached Decew Falls, a gorgeous 72 foot high waterfall that drops into a beautiful turquoise pool. Surrounded by nothing but water, rocks and nature, Decew Falls is an excellent place to visit and escape the city. Should you choose the shorter route, you can park at the Morningstar Mill at the top of the waterfall and look for the yellow rope tied off to a tree that you can use for support to lower yourself down and into the gorge. I made my visit on a weekday and had the entire site to myself the entire time, crowding has been an issue in the recent few years, so if you do visit please be respectful of others, don’t litter and help keep this natural oasis open for everyone to enjoy!

Coming off of a great Summer and early Fall of visiting several Ontario Waterfalls in warmer weather, Healey Falls in Cambellford Ontario was my first visit to a waterfall in the cold! Healey Falls Photo Gallery: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/healey-falls-waterfall It was Halloween and I had spent the day in Warkworth helping a woman clean up her property of an abandoned house I had explored the year before. I told her of my plans to see some waterfalls before the sun went down and she had suggested I visit Healey Falls. Healey Falls is not the easiest waterfall to find, even though it’s RIGHT THERE off a major highway. After some failed drives down some long forgotten roads I could SEE the waterfall but how the heck to I GET to the waterfall? Finally, I found a side dirt road that was covered in no parking signs, after being chased off by a homeowner not wanting me parked anywhere near his driveway I finally found a spot without any signs. A short walk down a paved path and you will approach an unsightly concrete dam, unfortunately this waterway is controlled by a dam from the upper body of water called Seymour Lake, a part of the Trent River. My guess is that Healey Falls has something to do with controlling water levels for the nearby Trent Severn Waterway Locks. The width of Healey Falls is around 100 metres and it drops a total of 10-20 metres or more along a series of steps carved into the bedrock. Unfortunately on my visit, only 1 or 2 of the gates were open, but I am told that at full force this waterfall is a serious sight to see! I wouldn’t go out of my way or plan a trip to see this one, but if you’re in the area it is definitely worth a stop!

Lavender Falls is a privately owned waterfall on a $10,000,000 piece of country property in rural Ontario, Canada. It is the largest privately owned waterfall in Ontario I took a massive chance here by driving all the way there in hopes that I could speak to the owner, or someone who could grant me permission to visit the waterfall and thank Baby Jesus they said yes. For this one, I fully expected them to say no to me given the issues they have had in the past with unruly visitors leaving junk and beer bottles behind, vandals and even a man falling to his death, drunk, from the top of the waterfall. I had no intention of trespassing on this visit and I strongly advise against it as the wonderful couple who live here have dealt with enough problems and they always contact the OPP when they see that there is someone attempting to access the property. It's not only the owners but the area residents too will call the police when they suspect there are trespassers. The individual who I spoke with told me where to park, gave me some instructions to avoid any tickets or issues with police and neighbours and that the rest was up to me to figure out!

Episode #25: Coopers Falls Waterfall, Coopers Falls Ontario: Exploring Ontario's Waterfalls Cooper’s Falls, located in the Ghost Town of the same name, Coopers falls is an impressive cascade of water almost completely masked from the modern world. Coopers Falls Photo Gallery: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/coopers-falls-waterfall Wild, hidden and unspoiled, out of view of motorists driving by, Cooper’s Falls is one the most beautiful and best-kept secrets in Muskoka. You have to really search for this near-mythical place; it’s not on any tourist map and only the most local of locals seems aware of its existence. My visit to Coopers Falls was in September of 2020, I was off on a 3 day waterfall road trip all through Muskoka, my final waterfall in this area on the 3rd day was Coopers Falls. Coopers Falls is now a Ghost Town with a few residents, according to wikipedia: “In 1864, Thomas James Cooper and his wife, Emma and three young children, emigrated to Canada on the steamship "Hector" from Fawkham, England. They arrived in the area from the train in Barrie. From there they proceeded to make their way by boat to Washago. There they set off into the bush to find a location to build their home, in lands that turned out to be occupied by wolves. Emma and Thomas Cooper built a house and general store half a mile from a waterfall on the Black River. Many years later, in 1878 the first post office opened with the name Cooper's Falls. The village soon added a general store, blacksmith and cheese factory. A log schoolhouse was built in 1874 followed by two churches. The Methodist church was built in 1894 and the Anglican church was built approximately 1884. Thomas Cooper had hoped that his town's inhabitants would live good and clean lives. He believed in prohibition and thus, was not pleased when men from the lumber camps would show up in town, drunk. The town's demise came when the lumber mill closed. The actual waterfall which took the Cooper name sits on private property, but can be seen from Cooper's Falls Road, especially in winter and early spring, when foliage doesn't obstruct the view.” My visit was entirely done without research, all I knew was there was a ghost town and there was a waterfall, with no idea how to get to the waterfall. I just parked my car and started hiking in the general direction of the water. The entire town is peppered with the old homes from the town's active days, most are decrepit and decaying, yellow “No Trespassing” signs all over the homes. I had to find a way towards the water, so I picked what looked like a trail between two old abandoned homes that headed directly into a forest. Passing bits of debris, machinery and some old shacks, the sound of the water was getting closer, I found myself on the property of a very obviously abandoned shack, just off in the distance was an old rusty and wooden bridge over the creek, to the right was the waterfall. If I was to get to the waterfall I have to cross this bridge carefully. As I got to the other side I came to an unmarked path into the dense forest heading in the direction of the waterfall. It was here that I started to wonder if I would encounter moose or a bear. Finally I find rock and the waterfall is on my right, entirely hidden, wild and secluded this was the best and most remote waterfall of this trip, I won’t be leaving here anytime soon. I unpack my gear, capture some photos and video footage, then I spot a perfect “Dave sized” spot carved into the rock directly beside my waterfall, this is where I will sit and spend a good 30 minutes of total peace and tranquility. It’s time to finish what I am here to do, capture this experience in photos and video, I still have one more waterfall on this trip and it’s 3 hours away! It was hard to pull myself from this waterfall, there is something about being alone in a place this remote and wild!

Episode #23: Wilsons Falls Waterfall, Bracebridge Ontario: Exploring Ontario's Waterfalls Wilson Falls is considered to be one of the wildest and most scenic falls on the North Branch of Muskoka River Wilsons Falls Photo Gallery: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/wilsons-falls-waterfall Wilson's Falls is located on the north branch of the Muskoka River between Bracebridge Falls and High Falls. The muskoka river takes an S-curve here as it tumbles down a long cascade. The final few drops are all 2-3m feet high. The total drop is approximately 10m. Unlike Bracebridge Falls and the nearby High Falls, the addition of man made elements is far less noticeable here. A small hydroelectric station built in 1909 stands along the river, generating electricity for Bracebridge, but it’s very unobtrusive and doesn’t detract from the pleasing scene of the landscape and waterfall.

Episode #22: Little High Falls Muskoka Waterfall: Exploring Ontario's Waterfalls This wraps up the three part series on the waterfalls found at the High Falls Muskoka site Little High Falls Falls can be found just a short hike away from Muskoka High Falls. The falls has two drops. The lower drop tumbles into the lake below High Falls. It is not easily seen from land, and is best seen from the water. The upper drop is about 100 feet upstream. You can walk right up to the base of this one. A foot bridge crosses over the top of the falls. Little High Falls Photo Gallery https://www.waterfallsontario.com/little-high-falls-waterfall There is some inconsistent information out there about the names of these falls. The lower falls is sometimes referred to as "Little High Falls", and the upper falls as "Potts Falls". Some people reverse the names, like I did in my last video and was quickly corrected.

Episode #20 High Falls Muskoka Waterfall Ontario | Exploring Ontario’s Waterfalls The website gowaterfalling.com states that Muskoka High Falls is one of the largest and steepest waterfalls in the Muskoka region. It also has been left relatively intact, despite the dam located at the site. In addition it is easy to visit, making it one of the best waterfalls in this part of Ontario. High Falls is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the Muskoka area. The river falls about 50 feet in a single drop. It is not a plunge, but it is much steeper than most of the cascades found in this region. There is a power station above the falls, and water is diverted from the river, but the falls are still an impressive site. The Muskoka region is full of great waterfalls to visit, in the immediate area of High Falls you can also hike to the much smaller Pott's Falls and Little High Falls which are located just a short hike from High Falls.

Rosseau Falls Waterfall Muskoka Ontario: Exploring Ontario’s Waterfalls Episode #17 In the summer of 2020 I embarked on a multi day roadtrip for the sole purpose of exploring waterfalls. It was three days and two nights of long drives and adventurous exploring and hiking of 11 total waterfalls. Heading north from Burlington, Ontario I drove straight to my farthest destination first, Rosseau Falls in Muskoka, Ontario. After roughly three hours of driving I finally arrived to the parking area and so relieved to see no other people around! Rosseau Falls consists of two waterfalls as the river descends about 30 m along its route to Lake Rosseau. Rosseau Falls Photo Gallery: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/rosseau-falls-waterfall Upper Rosseau Falls is very easy to access just off of highway 141, you can park in a small picnic area and a short jaunt across the street and you're there. Lots of great places to sit and enjoy the view, the scenery and the tranquility. Lower Rosseau Falls is about 1km downstream and exits into the mouth of Lake Rosseau, I didn't see if it was possible to hike down to the lower falls, I drove there and there is also a small parking lot. Most of Lower Rosseau Falls is available to the public but there is a small section down by the final outfall into Lake Rosseau that is on private property.

Westcliffe and Cliffview Falls Waterfall:s Exploring Ontario’s Waterfalls Episode #16 Westcliffe Falls is a 15 metre complex ribbon cascade waterfall found in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada This waterfall can be seen from Cliffview Park at the top of the stairs leading down to Chedoke Golf Course Waterfalll Photo gallery: https://www.waterfallsontario.com/westcliffe-falls-cliffview-waterfall Westcliffe Falls generally has year-round water flow except during extended dry periods. It has a height of 15m (49 ft.) and a crest width of 2m (7ft.) and is considered a Complex Ribbon Cascade type waterfall. During heavier flows, the waterfall widens out half way down, and then narrows again towards the bottom, giving the appearance of a diamond in the woods against the escarpment face Westcliffe falls is one of four waterfalls contained in this cut in the escarpment, starting with lower westcliffe and lower cliffview falls at the parking lot of the chedoke golf course, you hike up some rather harsh terrain to access the two main waterfalls. While the further cliffview falls was down to a trickle for my visits, westcliffe falls was much more impressive and picturesque Just a short 5-10 minute hike from the golf course and you’ll hear the waterfall coming from the west, a short hike up and a careful climb down and you’ll forget you are in the middle of a city and feel like you are in your own tropical retreat.
