How to get there
McNeilly Falls is located almost adjacent to McNeilly Road at
the hairpin turn. To view
the waterfall from the top, walk across McNeilly Road, cross
the ditch to the west of the roadway and walk to the escarpment.
To view the waterfall from the bottom, you can either climb
down the escarpment at this location, or when you have parked
your vehicle, carefully walk down McNeilly Road to the Bruce
Trail. Follow the Bruce Trail west of McNeilly Road and
follow the first ravine upwards to McNeilly Falls.
