Indian Falls Conservation Area

What visitors say

Indian Falls is a 15-metre, horseshoe-shaped drop over layered rock just north of Owen Sound. The curved ledge looks almost built by hand, and reviewers describe it as a surprising sight at the end of a short woodland walk. In winter much of it freezes into blue and white ice.

The trail starts at the Georgian Bluffs sports field, which has ball diamonds, tennis courts and a playground. It's about 0.8 km and Grey Sauble rates it difficult: one route runs along the creek bed, and the other climbs stairs to the top of the falls. Wear sturdy, grippy shoes, and bring bug spray in summer.

Grey Sauble lists hiking and fishing here. The Indian River below the falls is a seasonal fish sanctuary in late spring, so check the regulations first. Some older reviews describe swimming under the falls, but the conservation authority now strictly prohibits access to the base.

Flow is best in early summer and drops off in late summer and early fall. The property is closed in winter and the trails can flood, although one reviewer found the lot plowed on a winter visit. Washrooms may be closed, so plan ahead.
