Weaver's Creek Falls

For years I never knew Weaver's Creek Falls existed, but 15 years ago the city of Owen Sound added a short nature trail up the creek to the falls.  The valley is so narrow that a lot of the trail is boardwalk built right over the water, and it's a beautiful short walk starting right beside the swimming pool in Harrison Park.

This is the start of the trail.  You're seeing about 80% of it right here, so it's very short, and there's water flowing under that boardwalk.

A couple of curves of the boardwalk and a short distance of further trail and you're at the end.

Tried to capture the bedrock steps the creek flows down over here.

As you get closer the valley is tangled with fallen trees, but there's the little waterfalls.

I sometimes think a more distant view provides better context in a situation like this.

But of course I like to get as close as I can too, so I zoomed my little camera out to the max and got this shot.

But I was carrying my big Nikon with its telephoto lens (its normal lens being in the camera hospital), so leaning on that fallen tree I got even closer.

I'll leave you with what I thought was my best photo of the outing.  You can find much closer shots of the falls online if you care to look, but there's a 'No Trespassing' sign which I have so far obeyed, so this is as close as I get.

I was pleased to see that this project was actually organized by Owen Sound's Scenic City Order of Good Cheer!  That may be a group I want to find out more about' they have raised a great deal of money for community projects.
