July 14, 2007 - LOUTH FALLS; Jordan, Ontario

So we carried on to Louth Falls. This was a tricky one as the directions to the falls were a little sketchy. Granted the site that I got the directions gave GPS coordinates and I do own a GPS but since it IS a waterfall you'd think it would be rather apparent. Sadly... it wasn't! There was no signage for the Louth Falls Conservation Area and just ended up parking the car and hit a trail leading into the woods. It was part of the Bruce Trail and it was quite scenic.

So since all the falls that we've recently been to have been dried up, we saw a dried up riverbed and figured that was Louth Falls.




So then we were leaving that location and heading back to the main road when I noticed this wee little creek that wandered under the road. I said to Sherri; "Boy! I really hope that is not where the waterfalls are!" So to follow my gut instinct, we backed up and parked on the side of the road and took a hike!

This is actually Louth Falls. Surprise! Surprise! It's dried up also!


This was pretty cool. Depending on the angle you take the picture, the pool at the bottom of the falls was in the shape of a heart!

As you can tell by Sherri's pant legs, the amount of hiking that he had already done at this point of the day was rather grueling but very rewarding.

As we did with the picture of Devil's Punchbowl Falls, we took pictures inside the tunnel through which the creek flows. You can tell by our clothes that it was a rather "damp".
