High Falls — Local services in District Municipality of Muskoka

This is a short 1k loop but with great view of the small waterfalls and river running through the woods. This is a lookout more than a hike. I would say a good place for a family visit. Accessible and good for all skill levels. The loop road goes right to the falls, so if you have mobility issues or a senior, you can drive right down drop off and then find parking. Several places to park along the loop road as you will find the first parking area small with no signs indicating more parking ahead

At the falls, if you cross over the bridge (towards the generating station and fenced area) there is not much to see, basically another road entrance/parking area. All the short woodland trails on the other side...

High falls was one of the pit stops that we made leading to our final destination. This was the sole reason why we stopped. It didn’t disappoint. When you get off the highway the picnic area and parking are clearly marked. We arrived fairly early, and there was ample of parking. However when we were leaving the parking area was packed and there was literally no room to park. I assume this is a constant issue, might help if you get here before 10am. The park is clean, and there are 3 amazing parts of the falls to explore. Even though our main reason for being here was because of high falls, my favourite was Potts falls that is located next to it. Have fun...

At first we were disappointed by the view from the bridge (you can hardly see the falls) But if you adventure off into "The great trail" it is absolutely magical!!

There are other waterfalls hidden within the trail and diverse plant life, especially mushrooms. It was more of a challenging hike than most, because of the landscape but it is so worth it. It is easy in the sense of direction and length, as it loops around. It takes less than one hour to complete the whole trail.

Parking is free and it wasn't very busy. There are so many rocks to sit on and have a picnic in the middle...
