To answer that question, read through this guide to waterfalls in Ontario. By looking at some of the best waterfalls in Ontario, you'll get a lot of help narrowing down your choices, which will make planning your road trip a whole lot easier.

The 6 Best Waterfalls in Ontario

Again, there are over 400 waterfalls in Ontario, and you're not likely to see them all in one trip. There's no reason to be sad, though; here are several waterfalls in Ontario that are worth visiting the first time around, and they're really some of the best waterfalls in Ontario!

Niagara Falls

To get the falls rolling, why not start with the biggest and most famous of all waterfalls in Ontario? Sure, parts of it are shared with the U.S., but it's no big secret: Everyone knows the best Niagara Falls views are on the Canadian side. The best known of all the waterfalls in southern Ontario, Niagara Falls offers visitors thrilling sights and sounds every hour of the day, in every season.

You can walk all over and snap photos from the many viewpoints; wait until nightfall, and you'll see the Falls brightly lit up. If you're the more adventurous type, board a vessel like the ones of Hornblower Tours to get up close and personal with the Falls (if you want the Maid of the Mist, you'll have to venture over to the American side).

Devil's Punchbowl and Tew Falls

If Niagara Falls is a bit too crowded for your taste, you have other options for waterfalls in southern Ontario. For instance, the Devil's Punchbowl, located near Hamilton. You get 121-foot ribbon falls with access to the Bruce Trail, perfect for fans of Ontario hiking trails with waterfalls.

Actually, the Hamilton area has over 100 waterfalls, a plethora of riches, really. Another one of them is Tew Falls, which tops out at 135 feet (but which requires a reservation to visit from May to December). The Devil's Punchbowl and Tew Falls aren't too far from Niagara Falls (about an hour away), so you should add them to any Niagara itinerary.

High Falls

Visitors to Algonquin Provincial Park never forget their experiences with the High Falls, especially in warmer weather. If you're brave enough, let the High Falls act as the natural slide they are to propel you along with the rushing waters. You can find the perfect place to give it a try, with the Ontario hiking trails with waterfalls being a key feature of Algonquin Provincial Park. Or, you can set up camp nearby and just enjoy the sights and sounds of the area.

Kakabeka Falls

By now, you may be wondering about waterfalls in northern Ontario, and you're in luck: Kakabeka Falls is waiting for you. It's the second-highest waterfall in Ontario after Niagara Falls, and if you manage to visit when the leaves are changing, you're in for a real treat. For those interested in Ontario hiking trails with waterfalls, Kakabeka Falls checks that box, and then some; there are over 16 kilometers (just over 10 miles) of trails to enjoy, many with falls views.
