Princess Louise Falls — Attraction in Ottawa

Beautiful small hike. The falls are absolutely beautiful. The hike around the falls is a loop, and it wasn't very difficult. There were a couple of steep inclines at the beginning, but just over a short distance. There isn't parking at the location, but there are several locations nearby that may be okay to park as long as businesses are closed. There are no markings or signs near the road to indicate where the trail is for Princess Louise Falls, so you have to look carefully for a small pathway. The only indication that you are near the falls is the sound of the waterfalls, that you can hear from the side of the road when close enough. Not wheelchair accessible. Beautiful for both adults and children, but be careful for some steep dropoffs (slopes) alongside some sections of the trail. Not too many flies at the...

It may be tough to get to the falls if you have reduced mobility due to the steep descent.

Otherwise if you are sort of in shape, it's ok if you give yourself some time to climb back to the top of the...

Hurts to give it a bad review, but here goes: I thought the falls were easily accessible based on the reviews here and Narcity. Once I’ve arrived at the area, I realized it’s just a local trail for the neighbourhood. The trail itself was short and pleasant, but then I realized that to actually see the falls, you basically need to trespass and risk your life getting down the steep hills or waterfall rocks to see the waterfall itself. Basically the trail is on top of the falls and it’s not even supposed to lead to the falls. Really disappointed and don’t recommend anyone to risk their lives to see...
