There were lots of ‘oooouuuuu’ and ‘aaaahhh’s going on with this lookout. It actually held the kid’s attention for a solid 30 seconds which is impressive. Ha ha ha. The falls itself has a dramatic over 200 foot drop. Like all great waterfalls, you can hear it from the trails before you can actually see it. At the end of the 1 km trail, is this little beach along the river. I can’t quite say that I’d ever swim in any Ottawa area water ways but it was pretty and well used by kayakers/canoeists as a resting spot.
