Within the 200 hectares of the Inglis Falls Conservation Area you will find 7.42 kilometres of hiking trails, including access to the Bruce Trail, which links to Harrison Park and Weavers Creek Falls, plus the city's Centennial Lookout Tower. Inglis is a must-see in every season with spectacular ice formations visible during the winter. Inglis Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the region, an 18-metre high cascade on the Bruce Trail where the Sydenham River meets the Niagara Escarpment. In winter, these three waterfalls are accessible by snowshoe. Jones, Inglis and Weaver's Creek falls are linked by marked trails, offering experienced hikers an invigorating day trip with many look-out points along the way. Spring is "high tide" for our waterfalls, where the water flow is abundant, but they are popular in all seasons. Or take your time and choose one or two on each visit, exploring the falls, forests and trails around them. Each is less than 10 kilometres from the downtown Visitor Information Centre, so you can tour all in a single day. Four popular waterfalls spill from the rocky Niagara Escarpment near Owen Sound, rushing into nearby rivers and streams: Inglis Falls, Jones Falls, Indian Falls and Weavers' Creek Falls in Harrison Park.
