Note: Ignore google map. Its wrong: entrance is off highway 28 a short distance east of Bancroft. Its a non-operating provincial park. So no buildings nor signage to mark the entrance. Two access points at either side of the river off north side of Highway 28, main one on west side has a short uneven road to a small makeshift parking lot. Parking can be limited so be prepared to walk the 1 km from highway to trail head. Trail on west side is wide and obvious despite not being marked. And ends after about a kilometer, at one of the waterfalls. Only gets rugged at the end. Walk out for roots and small rock tripping hazards as the view is spectacular.
