A hidden gem.
Small fall, worth a visit only if you are in the area. DO NOT access Ritchie Falls Road from the west, as shown on Google Maps, it apparently led to someone's backyard. Go around to the east end.
Beautiful waterfall close to Minden and Haliburton. Access to some hiking trails nearby. Lots of vantage points.
Some parking available. Be careful on the road in - there are baby head sized rocks that could rip out your oil pan, dent your wheel, or destroy a tire if youre not careful.
Natural beauty at its best. Don't expect Niagara falls but the sound of the falls, giant rocks you can sit on and the green surroundings is something to experience if you happen to be around. Also enjoy the trails for a nice long walk.
Beautiful! Gotta come back with a picnic!
I have heard that summer camps used to come here and let the kids ride down the falls with lifejackets on; I'll try that next time too.
This is right off of the Railpath between Lochlin and Gelert - makes a great stop during a dusty ride.
Not accessible! Irregular rocks to navigate down from the parking spaces (room for one car on one side of the river and two cars on the other side of the bridge).
