"The Guelph Radial Trail runs northeast from Guelph along an abandoned electric railway route to meet the Bruce Trail at Limehouse. The Speed River Trail follows the river southwest to Cambridge: this trail becomes very wet after heavy rain. Many glacial features, including eskers, drumlins, and moraines, add interest to these pleasant and easy trails."
The falls itself is rather meagre since most of the water has been diverted to to a hydroelectric plant which has been generating electricity since around 1895. A popular and pretty area in the Beaver Valley.
This is the week for fall colours in the Beaver Valley. Check out Epping Lookout Conservation Area on brow of the Niagara Escarpment with a great view of the Beaver Valley. The Bruce Trail runs through here and there is a historical plaque dedicated to the naturalist John Muir who spent two years in this area before heading off to the US where he founded the Sierra Club and became the father of the conservation movement.
Pumpkins are a fruit which originated in Central America. Some people eat the flowers. Some recommended them for removing freckles and curing snake bites. Some love them in pie. Like me.
One of the most accessible waterfalls along the Bruce Trail - there's a parking lot about 20 metres from it. Smoky Hollow Falls, also known as Grindstone Falls and Great Falls - the Grindstone Creek falls about 7 or 8 metres into a beautiful rocky creek bed.
