Very well marked. GREAT for kids! Lots of fallen trees, etc, for them to run around. For the length of this hike, these falls are among my top 5 in Canada. Downside I can't think of one! Comment We hiked this in fall. I definitely recommend it in fall due to the mass amount of yellow and red leaves everywhere. It made it all the more spectacular.

There are two ways to get to these falls, so if you're not up for the longer route, there's a route that only takes about 20 minutes to walk.
