Bridal Veil Falls

There are numerous falls called Bridal Veil, but this particular veil can be found in Ontario on Manitoulin Island, and despite the lack of nomenclative creativity, I’m rather fond of this waterfall.

There’s a small parking lot right next to the falls, and at the base is a small swimming hole. There are no lifeguards of course so you swim at your own risk, but most adults should be able to stand at the deepest point without the water coming over their heads.

Bring a bathing suit and water shoes, the ground around the fall is rocky. With good water shows or even running shoes you can go behind the falls! It’s slippery but the rush of wind and the view from behind the falls is really cool!

You can also walk the trail which follows the Kagawong River, though I don’t know how long that hike is so I would definitely recommend sneakers and a water bottle or two for that trek.

It’s a great spot to snap a few pictures, cool off in the summer, and have a little picnic if one so desires. There are also bathrooms, a gas station, and a little shop for if you’ve been driving for a while and need a break.

Just remember to bring a mask as this is a popular place to swim with the locals.

Wear a mask, wash your hands, and stay safe gentle reader.
