This is the lovelest waterfalls no matter what time of the year you visit.  Its probably one of the most popular waterfalls along the Niagara Escarpment. Located in one of the most beautiful areas along the Niagara Escarpment the Spencers Gorge Wilderness.  Access to the bottom of this gorge is reletivly easy.  If you can climb stairs you can get to the base of the falls.  One you arrive at the bottom their are still signs of past mills at the bottom of the falls.  If you visit this falls on a hot sunny day try brinning some swim wear as this creek is clear enough for cooling off under and its quite an experience to stand underneith its torrents of water.  If your not up for standing underneith the falls you can walk behind it staying relatively dry.  The park above the falls is just as a lovely with is old stone arch bridge and gigantic weeping willow's.  Oh if your one of those people who loves to take photographs bring you camera.  Every time I visit this little peice of paradise their seems to be a lot of photographers.  Its Also been my cameras Favorite as you will soon learn if you visit often.
