Niagara Falls Canada

Three magnificent falls, two American and one Canadian, mark the point at which the Niagara River rumbles over the Niagara Escarpment.

Grand Falls on Mississippi

Reviewed By J3862JXgaryt - Ottawa, Canada

Any cold mid-winter night is immediately made more special with a visit to the Falls, the lights, the sound of rushing water, and voila, magic! Make sure you enjoy the view from one of the local Almonte pubs or restaurants, even better!

Horseshoe Falls

Reviewed By Visidigi - Hinckley, United Kingdom

We went in the cold of winter, and thanks to jet lag were there really early to watch the beautiful sunrise over the falls. It was a magical, quiet morning, with great views and we really enjoyed our time at the falls - the sheer power of the water is something else! Another place ticked off the list, excellent!

Hog's Back Falls

Beautiful 60-foot waterfall where the Rideau River and Rideau Canal part.

Reviewed By T6002SQsarahw - Ottawa, Canada

Located right across the road from Mooney's Bay, Hog's Back Falls are a wonderful place to visit no matter the season. They are even more impressive in the spring when the water levels are higher. The formation is unique and in summer/fall/winter you can clearly see the rock that gives the falls their name. It's harder to spot in the spring due to the high water levels. There are paved walking trails on on the parking lot side of the falls and there's a shorter, paved path to an observation area on the other side. A wide pedestrian bridge allows visitors to cross safely over the falls. There is also a paved path that goes under the road and allows you to connect to Mooney's Bay beach. The Rideau Canal is also nearby, just on the other side of the river. The park at the falls is small but well kept with many mature trees. Washroom facilities are available in the summer months and I think there's a canteen as well. Hog's Back Falls are just one of Ottawa's many examples of spectacular nature nestled in the middle of an urban area.

Onaping Falls

Reviewed By pandacb

This is a very nice side trip from Sudbury. Started from AY Jackson Lookout and took the trail to the bridge. Please note that the first part of the trail is VERY rocky and you need appropriate footwear. Sometimes it is hard to navigate along the rocks so be very careful. After the rocky descent from the lookout, it is a nice walk along the water with great views, up to the bridge.

Inglis Falls

Reviewed By GREENQUEEN08 - Toronto, Canada

This is a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere and an absolute must see! We absolutely loved it! It is literally right next to the parking lot and there is a historic mill on site as well as some museum artifacts such as the milling stones on display. There is a lookout for pictures or you can hike down to the bottom (not permitted in winter). We loved visiting in Feb. as it was stunning to see the ice and snow that accompanied the falls. The ice crystals looked magical like they were from a hidden cave or movie. We are definitely coming back to view the falls in the spring or summer and hike to the bottom! Recommend strong footwear for this site and there is a fee to be donated to the conservation authority for parking.

Great tone with children. Nice walk with amazing views. The fire put near the falls is amazing and can be used for marshmallows or to simply enjoy the warmth. If you are a family that love nature, better to buy the annual pass

Ball's Falls

Reviewed By T4232XIjohnb - Toronto, Canada

The Ball's Falls Conservation Area is definitely worth a visit because of the natural beauty of the place and the history. First, a warning. Twenty Mile Creek, which flows through the area, dries up by early summer leaving very little water flowing over the falls. That being said, fall is a gorgeous time to visit with beautiful colours to be seen along the broad trails and dangling over the gorge. Entrance fee is $8 a person and includes parking. A number of buildings on the grounds have been reconstructed including the grist mill and there are many information boards. One can also see the ruins of the original mill near the upper falls. You only need an hour or two to thoroughly take in all of the sights and it is very close to Jordan and Niagara Wine Country.
