One of three waterfalls that surround the city of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada, Inglis Falls is the largest and most impressive.[1] It is also the most visited.[2]
Situated in the heart of the 200-hectare Inglis Falls Conservation Area, Inglis Falls is an 18-metre-high (59 ft) cascade, created by the Sydenham River meeting the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. Swimming is prohibited in the entire area.[3] The Conservation Area includes 7.42 km of hiking and mountain bike trails.[4]
The Area has 20 species of ferns, a variety of birds and geological potholes. In the late fall, salmon arrive at the river to spawn.[5]
The property has been owned by the North Grey Region Conservation Authority, now the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority, since 1960.[6]
