There are trails to many of Ottawa's waterfalls while others require map and compass to view.
Waterfalls are beautiful in all seasons.
The ice formations created in wintere are spectacular while the flora and fauna during the summer add special touches. The greater flow of water in spring after snow-melt and in the fall after a rainy period makes the falls themselves most impressive. Sturgeon Falls - Access if off Forest Road 2270, on the east edge of the Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness. This is a beautiful area where you might experience the song of a Hermit Thrush or see shade tolerant wildflowers on the forest floor. This is a moderately difficult trail due mainly to its length and changes in grade.
