This ‘camouflaged’ hidden waterfall in Ontario is a secret gem

Ontario’s natural landscape is full of hidden gems – and this next outdoor adventure is just that. Hoggs Falls is a lovely waterfall tucked away in a forest, just north of Toronto.

You’ll have to embark on an almost two-hour journey from the city, towards Flesherton, Ontario. It is described as “one of Grey County’s best-kept secrets,” Hoggs Falls flows abundantly all year round, according to South Georgian Bay Tourism.

“The falls are secluded, camouflaged and yet easily accessible.”.

To get there, you’ll have to trek along a scenic hike through the woods along the Boyne river.

The moderate-level hike is located on the Bruce Trail and it is a 3.7 km loop in total.

It is also located on Provincial Crown Land, and Ontario has a resource page for all of the activities permitted on this public land.

Once you arrive, you’ll be treated to views of this tumbling 7-metre waterfall set among the greenery.

And while you’re there, you might as well make a pit stop to the nearby Eugenia Falls, which is one of the tallest cascades in eastern Canada.

Cascading into the picturesque Cuckoo Valley, Eugenia Falls tumbles over the Niagara Escarpment at a towering 30-metre high.

South Georgian Bay region is just begging to be explored, and we’re here for it.
