Inglis Falls is south of Owen Sound on Highway 6/10, in the Inglis Falls Conservation Area. Another nice map of the area can be found here. This waterfall is also on the Bruce Trail.

This is a well developed area with a parking lot right at the top of the falls. There used to be a large mill here, but it burned down years ago.

From the parking lot, you can reach the bottom of the gorge by heading down the trails to the left (facing downstream). There really is not a well defined trail, but it is not that hard to find a way down. There is a nice spot to the right at the base of the falls, but our first attempt to find a way down there failed. The gorge is very steep to the right. Just as we are about to give up, we noticed one of the locals appear down there. He showed us his way down, which involved some steep descents and some jumps from rock to rock, but it is a nice view. How do you get back up? Well, he climbed up the waterfall (see picture below). We went back the way we came. This was in June 2002. Had he tried this in April 2004, he would have been washed away.

An hour or so north of Inglis Fall is the Bruce Peninsula National Park. There are no waterfalls up there, but the final stretch of the Bruce Trail along the coast is truly spectacular.

Jones Falls, Indian Falls and Keefer Falls are all in the Owen Sound area. Walters Falls is about 20km to the south east and Eugenia Falls is farther south.
