Indian Falls - Owen Sound Ontario

Indian Falls is located in Indian Falls Conservation Area, just north of Owen Sound Ontario. You will take a 1.8 km walk to the falls; along the way you will see a variety of ferns, trees and wildflower species native to the area. The 15-metre horseshoe-shaped waterfalls was named for the Newash Indians who lived in this area.

I, along with my daughter and niece, visited Indian Falls on the weekend of October 13th. Even though this was a wet day there was virtually no flow over the falls at all. Indian Falls does feature a classic plunge waterfall, with a wide "amphitheatre" style gorge. This is evidenced in the attached photo. To me the lack of flow at this time of year was very disappointing but I am very hopeful of better flow during the late winter and early spring months. The attached photo is a compilation of about 15 photos that I took at the falls. I was using my Canon 40D with a 24-105 ef L IS lens attached at 105mm.

To view Indian Falls follow these directions:
From Owen Sound, go west on Hwy 10 to Second Ave W and go north. This road soon leaves the town and eventually becomes Grey Rd 1. Drive for about 7 or 8 minutes to Balmy Beach. Watch for the signs for the Indian Falls Conservation Area on the left. Drive to the back of the parking lot, find the trail, and walk for about 10-12 minutes upstream to the falls.
