Walter's Falls Loop

This trail is another of the many waterfall trails all through the Niagara Escarpment. The overlook does not provide a great view of the falls, but you can get down into the gorge with some effort. You can stop by and visit this waterfall after visiting the more impressive falls in Owen Sound, or on your way from Eugenia Falls to Owen Sound.

The Bruce Trail goes past the falls. If you follow the trail from behind the inn, you will quickly find a spot where you can climb down into the gorge. The gorge is full of dense vegetation, but with some care you can work your way up to a nice view of the falls.

With file information from the Bruce Trail, for more information on this and other Bruce trails please purchase the Bruce Trail map and trail guidebook. The Bruce Trail is the oldest and longest marked hiking trail in Canada. It is 840 km long, with over 440 km of side trails. Every year more than 400,000 visits are made to the Trail as people walk, snowshoe, watch wildlife, take photographs and admire the glorious scenery of the Escarpment.

The Bruce Trail was instrumental in the Escarpment being named a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations in 1990 - one of only twelve such reserves in all of Canada. The Bruce Trail is a member of the Ontario Trails Council through affiliation with Hike Ontario.
