Episode #13: Little Wonder Waterfall Exploring Ontario’s Waterfalls
Little Wonder Waterfall: Exploring Ontario’s Waterfalls Episode #13
The past of Little Wonder Falls, of course predates history - standing upon a landscape visited by God's creatures dating back eons.
Long before the arrival of the Whites, it was often a favorite location with the aboriginals who gathered there for spiritual assemblies - and because of that significance to them, created there a native burial ground.
The original settler surveyor designated the site on the village plot as being the Reserve for Mill - and my the wife of the current owners grandfather operated there the Little Wonder Mill which initially made Little Wonder Flour.

Later the mill became a basket factory, that during the Great Depression as bought out, and idled, to prevent competition.
Natives continued to visit the site. A recorded history of a century ago relates that in their tradition, "one of the great treasures of the earth will be discovered there."
When the property came into the possession of the current owner he had the surveyor rename it on the map - Bahji du Canada, as the site for the
Universal Language Institute.
Later, when his son Bahji was killed in a sledding accident in the village, he obtained permission from the native chiefs and the Ontario Provincial Government to create a burial ground adjacent to the native burial sites and Bahji's memorial was created there.
A large red stone was moved there and dedicated in a Sweet Grass ceremony by the Chairman of the Southern Metis - and thus there remains entwined
the natural geographic beauty, the history of the native peoples, and its destiny to become the source of "one of the great treasures of the earth."
This waterfall is located on private property, however access and permission is possible should you know who to contact, how to contact him and what may be asked of you to obtain such permission.
If you are able to contact the owner, there is a strong chance you will have to put in a good few hours of manual labour to pay for your trip to the waterfall, but it is very well worth it.
