Getting to Inglis Falls Conservation Area will take you about two and a half hours by car from Toronto.

The falls are along the Bruce Trail where the Sydenham River meets the Niagara Escarpment!

In order to see the falls at one of the platform viewpoint, you’ll need to follow the main trail.

If you’re visiting be sure to note that access to the base of the falls is absolutely prohibited and you can only see the falls from the designated areas.

Once you’ve checked out the falls be sure to get some steps in and follow the 7.42 km of trails. The trails range in difficulty so be sure to select one that best suits your abilities.

Along the trails visitors can expect the following:

  • More than 20 species of ferns
  • Bird watching opportunities
  • A series of geological potholes
  • Historical remains of a grist mill
  • Washrooms
  • Picnic facilities
  • A visitor information centre

It is also worth noting that if you’re visiting Inglis Falls Conservation Area, you will have to pay a fee to enter.

A day pass to enter the conservation area is $10 per vehicle. Cash is not accepted so make sure you have a debit or credit card on hand.

Oh, and don’t forget to snack some photos of the waterfall before you head out!

Inglis Falls is waiting for you, Ontario.
