There is no park meter, instead a park ranger (college kid) was collecting the fees. We found out that if there is day light savings and if you come after 7pm, you can park for free. The water fall is a quick walk down from the parking on a short board walk. You don't have to put too much effort to see the falls, not a hike at all. If you want you could go on the 2.9km loop around the dam structure. The falls view was great and the woods, the trees were awesome to look at. If you are not hiking, the maximum time you would spend here is less than 1hr. Combine your trip with the other falls nearby, Eugenia Falls, Indian Falls and you can also catch some good restaurants in Owen Sound.

I will be back, because I want to take a day and explore some of the trails that are available to explore, not entirely sure if you can walk down to the bottom of the falls, but some people were climbing over the walls to actually rock climb down...not interested personally. can't wait...

On September 28th the Town of Richmond Hill revealed this piece of outdoor street art in the city's…read moredowntown village. The statue stands 14 feet high and is made almost entirely of granite and bronze is a figure to promote Richmond Hill's culture. Fitting that it has been erected in front of its shining center piece the Richmond Hill Performing Arts Centre (designed in the likeness of the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto). The bronze sculpture is of two intertwined dancers on top of the granite base of ascending piano keys and is the vision, mission and passion for the last two years of Richmond Hill Councillor Nick Papa. Designed by artist and designer William Ho and sculptor John Porretta the estimated cost of the statue (with funds provided exclusively by generous local businesses - no taxpayers dollars were spent) is approximately just shy of $200,000. I'm a big fan of these sort of editions to the downtown Richmond Hill core, and I'm hoping this is the first of many to come to my hometown. Keepin' it local

This year-round destination for adventures and activities always has something for everyone! I've…read morecome here in both the summer and winter, and there are always plenty of fun things to do. Meandering through the caves and caverns is the main highlight in the summer (as well as spring and fall). All caves and caverns follow a structured path, and everything is clearly well marked. They also have mini golf, gemstone mining, hiking trails, and adventure playground for the warmer months. In the winter, it's great for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and sauna. They have a nordic pro shop where you can purchase or rent equipment. The gift shop, which doubles as a small cafe selling hot drinks and snacks, also carries winter activity essentials, ranging from base layers to gloves and toques. All the staff are friendly and helpful. We rented their snowshoes, and they were of excellent quality (with spikes at the bottom to help crush ice, which became very helpful as the trails were quite icy that day). The snowshoe trails are mostly loops and very clearly well marked - it's impossible to get lost.

Lots of trails, but they really need to update their website! My kiddo was so excited for the train…read moreride. But the day we went was on and off rain, and it turns out the train is battery/electric run so it does not operate unless the ground is completely dry. Wish we would have known this beforehand as the entry fee is kind of hefty if the one thing your kid was excited for didn't end up operating. They require closed toe hiking or running shoes to enter. The suspension bridge trail and the caves trail were really neat. If you have a toddler 2 or under you might need to carry them part of the caves trail as there are some tricky slippery spots. The suspension bridge trail is much easier and you get a great view from the bridge. The playground is big and fun. You can also buy fish food (25 cents) to feed the fish, though you're more likely to get gulls fighting over the fish food than to see any fish. We did see a big trout though which was neat! Besides the train not operating, and the kind of cold and wet weather, this would have been a great summer day activity. They let you bring your own food inside to have a picnic. And once you get your wristband you have in and out privileges all day which was nice. We wiuld have enjoyed this more if it was warmer and not raining.

This is a review of the 99 Steps trail, located in the Thornton Bales Conservation Area…read more Located in Newmarket is a short 4 km loop trail called 99 Steps. It's located on 19th Sideroad between Dufferin and Bathurst. You'll know you're there when you see cars parked along the side of the narrow road. There is a small parking area for 9-10 cars at the trailhead. The trail starts with steps heading down. I don't know why it's called 99 Steps because there are only 80 steps (I counted). The trail is well maintained and has clear markers. There were only a couple of spots where it was unclear where the trail continues. The trail has some moderately steep downhill paths, so bring a walking stick if you have knee problems. Unfortunately, when I visited last week, a portion of the trail was closed, so it felt more like 2 km roundtrip. Overall, I thought it was a very nice trail and I'm looking forward to returning during the autumn when the leaves change colors.

4.5 Because of the pandemic, I've been trying to find more…read moreoutdoors-y things to do and I've been having that itch to go on a satisfying hike. This trail connected to another named 99 steps is located in King city just 10 minutes from Upper Canada Mall. You may bring dogs here on leash. Parking is extremely limited, about 10 spaces and I wouldn't recommend parking on the side street. There have been reports that you will get ticketed about $50 for it so I recommend you to wait until someone leaves which was only a couple minutes for me. First off... please please please research the trails before you go. It is a good idea to do this for any trail because there can be trail closures/diversions that can change. For example this one is connected to the Koffler scientific reserve at joker's hill which is part of the U of T research. They have sections closed off for scientific research. I recommend googling it to see which sections are closed. This trail is rated as a moderately difficult meaning that it is very technical with hills, tree roots and some rocks which is normal for these types of trails. Wear good shoes with good traction to protect your feet. In the beginning, they make you start off with going down hill with the steps although there's only 80 (counted). You can walk only the 99 steps section or go further out and walk the larger loop that includes koffler. In total, it's about 6 kms if you walk it all and took about an hour and a half for me who walked it sorta quickly. . I thought the trail was fantastic. Blazes (paint on the trees) well marked in the beginning of the trail. FYI. Single paint=trail is straight, 2 stripes, left higher = trail turns left, right higher = trail turns right. Unfortunately, like another review said, the blazes disappeared at the second half of the trail and the all trails map isn't all that accurate so I walked an extra km by accident, but found the correct trail back and it's a single trail all the way back to the steps. I recommend downloading the all trails app and following as gps for that bit, but maybe I'll contact the conservation to make the blazes so people won't get lost. Still gonna be back because it's so so beautiful! Thanks for reading my long review/tips lol.
