Sauble Falls

With just a 10 metre drop, Sauble Falls on the Lake Huron shoreline of Bruce County, is not a tall waterfall, but what it lacks in height, it more than makes up for in width as this crescent shaped cascading falls is about three times as wide as it is tall.  Located within Sauble Falls Provincial Park, there is a boardwalk trail that leads visitors to a viewing platform where there are great views of the falls, which are surrounded by colourful rust & red rock formations.  Please note that the gate to the park remains closed in winter but the trails and roads are available for snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
