Inglis Falls/ Our World

 Inglis Falls, Owen Sound, Onatrio

On land owned by a conservation authority, this fan-shaped falls is about 18 metres (59 feet)  high, a little taller than a five-storey building.

 Person on rock below the fall

To show you just how high the falls is, a young man is standing on a boulder below the falls. (I think no one is supposed to be climbing on the rocks, but since he was down there I took his photo.)

Same person on rock below the falls

This area was originally owned by Peter Inglis who built a saw mill and grist mill above the falls. Both buildings are long gone.


Inglis Falls is located northwest of Toronto and is just south of the peninsula that separates Georgian Bay from the rest of Lake Huron.

    Imagine having ownership of such a lovely work of nature! It would be hard to resist standing there on those rocks and experiencing a natural shower. But it is probably a little slippery, too. :)

    I like this kind of "stair-step" fall. I remember we saw quite a few like it when we visited upstate New York several years ago. They are very different than the sheer drop of falls in Yosemite.

    He does give a sense of scale to the falls! I love the second shot, where it is just the falls, and the man, cascading down the rock face!!

    Watyerfalls are so mesmerising and enchanting! Interesting how they all have a special shape and character! This one is so beautiful! And love the man featured so small, yet important to appreciate the size of the falls!

    Hi there - great shots of the waterfalls - seems to be a bit of a theme this week (if two shots of waterfalls makes a theme that is!)

    It's a beautiful waterfall, and I love the squared-off rock formations, unrounded by the force of the water. Very interesting.

    It is lovely, EG. Around here, I imagine some industrious entrepreneur would have dammed it for power in the 1800s. Glad that didn't happen up there.
