inglis falls

DesertDrifters

A great little frozen wonderland. Due to the extremely cold weather, the falls were safe to navigate on foot, but the river below was flowing and was potentially hazardous. A network of tracks down the gorge made for some entertaining exploring.

Pretty when all the snow is soft and fluffy. Most of the falls were covered in ice but the area around was nice. It is harder to view the falls in the Winter and extreme caution should be used !!

A beautiful scenic falls just outside Owen Sound. A nice place for a picnic, good trails to hike and the beauty of nature. A small fee for parking is charged during the summer.

Bring appropriate clothing for winter weather. On the Bruce trail which is great for hiking in the proper conditions

I have visited these beautiful water falls many times in the last 40 years and they never grow tiresome. An icon in the Owen Sound area. I think you have to pay for parking now....

When you are in the Owen Sound area you should make sure to stop by Inglis Falls. This is a gorgeous spot in a prime area of Ontario. Go in the wet season and you will be amazed at the fury of the water over the falls as you walk a mere several feet about the rushing river. Take in the local history highlighted on the several signs throughout the area. I always try to stop here for a short visit when in the area; especially in off season!

I visited Inglis Falls at thanksgiving and I thought the trails were a little bit disappointing.They were short distance and very easy, more for a park than trails.I saw a picnic table in the middle of the fall, not sure why it was there.If you like hiking, I would suggest Indian Falls.Overall good but don't expect much nor leave too much time on your schedule for the visit.

beautiful - nice in the spring when the winter run off goes over the falls. Beautiful in the summer. Colourful in the fall. Can't say I have ever been there in the winter. In the summer there is a fee. till 5PM

Beautiful spot, peaceful, clean and historic. Wasn't happy about paid parking, but it's still worth a visit

This is the crown jewel of Owen Sound's rich collection of waterfalls. It's a cascade waterfall with a nice broad fan-shape. It's also easily accessible with great views to be had about one minute from the parking lot. However it is well worth taking the time to actually hike down to the base of the falls. Not only is the view impressive but there are many interesting things to see along the trail. Other highlights include numerous sinkholes (karsts) and water eroded limestone rock walls which remind me a bit of a stone temple.

We visited the Inglis Falls today and enjoyed seeing them in Autumn Colours. They are easily accessible from Owen Sound town as they are only 10 mins drive away. They operate based on charitable donations which you give on your way in in. Once you arrive, you can walk to the key viewing areas within 5 mins and take great photos. Definitely worth a stop if visiting this area.

Anytime of year is a good time for water falls but we did a falls colour trip yesterday and the colours along with the beautiful waterfall made it perfect. The paths and trails around the falls provide wonderful viewing areas and enjoy some of the Bruce Trail while you're there!

Inglis falls themselves are historic in that they used to power a mill. This mill has long since gone and only seen by visitors from the picture that is shown b the falls and the water chute room that is only visible from a platform that is technically fenced off and not park of the official walkway.The falls have a nice widening cascade shape to them, but are not very tall.The surrounding forest has a trail path and makes for a very pleasant walk, run or mountain bike ride. There are some awesome water cut gullys along the edge of the falls, under the walkways. We would encourage to explore and find these 20-30 foot channels cut into the natural stone.Big plus, it is a free attraction.A recommendation to local site manager, would be to enhance the historic nature and exhibits for this site. There looks to be a site centre, that has now closed (or was when we went Mon 29th Sept).

You are only aware of falls by hearing the roaring sound of water in the forest while approaching the park. It is hidden deep in the forest. The September fall time was a great time to see the Inglis Falls as the colorful background of multicolor trees made the falls look not only more powerful but also romantic. There is a trail leading down to the falls with few stages where the falls can be observed from different point of view. The area has picnic tables and parking (it was free in September). I recommend good hiking shoes when going down the walking trail as the ground can be slippery, especially the roots that are visible above the surface. Good place for your photography session. You can spend there only 40 min or as much as day with picnic. I can imagine that it is very busy during summer.
