Potts Falls

May 2007

Province: Ontario

Location: High Falls Park, north of Bracebridge

Height: 30+ (two 15' drops)

Crest: 15

Water Source: Potts Creek(?)

Summary: Potts Creek is a small waterfall right next to the much bigger and more impressive High Falls. There is no reason not to take the short walk from the big falls to see this small, but scenic waterfall.

Potts Falls is located just a few hundred feet from Muskoka High Falls. The falls has two drops. The lower drop tumbles into the lake below High Falls. It is not easily seen from the park, and is best seen from the water. I believe some sources call the lower drop "Little High Falls". The upper drop is about 100 feet upstream. You can walk right up to the base of this one. A foot bridge cross over the top of the falls.

I visited the falls late in the day just as the sun was setting. I know some people love the "waterfall effect", but that is not what waterfalls really look like.

There are a lot of nearby waterfalls. High Falls is just a short walk away. Wilson Falls, Bracebridge Falls and others can be found in or near Bracebridge.
