The waterfall has a pretty interesting history, used as a hydroelectric power station in the early 1900s.

According to the conservation area the falls call home, “The waterfall was called Eugenia following a suggestion from some ex-soldiers of the French Army (Crimean War) working with Charles Rankin surveying the former Artemesia Township. They suggested that the waterfall be named after Princess Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III.”

You’ll find Eugenia Falls in Grey County, specifically the Village of Eugenia.

The trail leading to the falls takes you past a Cenotaph memorial and a picnic shelter.

From there, take in the beauty of the Niagara Escarpment, river valleys, and upland forests!

The Beaver River flows through a 25-meter rock gorge, with “unique ferns and mosses.” to discover.

Access to the base of the falls is prohibited, but there are plenty of designated viewpoints to take in all the sights!

It’s important to stay within the designated areas as anything off the paths is described as dangerous.

Ontario is full of lesser-known natural wonders, don’t miss out on checking out something truly special!
