Eugenia Falls Trail

Experience the Majesty of Eugenia Falls: A Premier Ontario Rural Tourism Destination

Discover South Grey's most spectacular natural wonder at Eugenia Falls, where the Niagara Escarpment creates Ontario's tallest waterfall in the region—a breathtaking 30-metre cascade into the scenic Cuckoo Valley. This captivating Ontario rural tourism destination combines dramatic natural beauty with fascinating history dating back to 1852.

Named after Princess Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, these historic falls once powered Ontario's second hydroelectric plant and sparked a memorable "Fool's Gold" rush. Today, the accessible loop trail offers multiple stunning viewpoints perfect for family exploration and photography. While the path features charming rocky terrain with gentle ups and downs, the rewards are unforgettable vistas that capture the essence of rural Ontario tourism.

Adventure seekers can extend their journey along the renowned Bruce Trail, which stretches both north and south from the falls. Located in South Grey's picturesque Beaver Valley, Eugenia Falls provides an ideal afternoon escape where natural grandeur meets pioneer heritage. Whether you're seeking a quick nature fix or an extended hiking adventure, this Ontario rural tourism destination delivers an authentic Grey-Bruce County experience.
