Directions

By foot can be accessed via the Bruce Trail near the Dundas Valley Conservation Area.

From Highway 403, take the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway exit and keep to the right to merge onto Rousseau Street. Stay on it until the end. At the 'T' intersection, turn right onto Wilson Street. Then turn left onto Montgomery Road and turn right at the stop sign onto Old Dundas Road. At the 3-way Stop intersection, go straight onto Lions Club Road and park on the gravel shoulder. On the opposite side of the road, follow the Bruce Trail southwest to the second wooden bridge (about a 15 - 20 minute walk). The waterfall is beside this bridge.

gollark: It should have all Thaumcraft addons ever made (for 1.7.10) and all Reika's mods.
gollark: I agree.
gollark: Just make the display into an optical phased array capable of emitting and receiving arbitrary light?
gollark: Just don't have a camera.
