Inglis Falls is located just south of Owen Sound, Ontario on
the Sydenham River. The Falls are part of the Inglis Falls Conservation Area. The height of the falls is 18 metres. The waterfall is named after a Scottish
immigrant, Peter Inglis who settled in the area around 1845.

| Remains of the Grist Mill |
Remnants of a nineteenth-century gristmill are reminders of
the power in this falling water, used by Inglis. Some of the original mill wheels that were
used for grinding are on site.

The area was well marked and the view through the canyon
towards Owen Sound is fantastic. Margaret and I explored the trail down
towards the bottom of the falls.

The Bruce Trail swings by through the area heading north to
Tobermory. There are many great spots to stop for photographs.

Absolutely stunning. My cottage is up that way so I will definitely check it out.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Now that the humidity is gone, I'm looking forward to getting outside again.
ReplyDeleteThis is one great nature trail! Gotta love that craggy trail, with the mossy rock formation (read: green wall) and all. The river looks like a great place too.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to go there this spring! If only the we had a car leasing company around that would allow for short-term trips like going to ontario...
