Description
We will park at km 7.4 of the Sydenham section on St. Vincent-Sydenham Townline. We will walk along the road and enter the Walters Falls Management Area and hike west. Upon reaching Cty Rd 29, we will hike south to Walters Falls and then northwest. At the Walters Creek Side Trail we will hike east and reconnect with the white blazed trail retracing
our steps back to the cars. The trail travels along an Escarpment ridge, across a meadow, through a cedar forest along the riverbank and climbs a cart path to the scarp edge where the valley narrows. The trail leaves the forest at the Falls Inn where there is a viewing area at the very brink of the falls. Bring a snack or lunch and water.
