Onaping Falls

Reviewed By pandacb

This is a very nice side trip from Sudbury. Started from AY Jackson Lookout and took the trail to the bridge. Please note that the first part of the trail is VERY rocky and you need appropriate footwear. Sometimes it is hard to navigate along the rocks so be very careful. After the rocky descent from the lookout, it is a nice walk along the water with great views, up to the bridge.

What an amazing transformation a few decades makes. This beautiful area used to be practically barren. We did the 10 k Laurentian Loop and it had a great variety of terrain and ecosystems. We spent most of the walk grazing on blueberries. Lots of granite domes and forest sections. Sometimes by the lakes, including an incredible beaver dam that raised a good sized lake by 6 feet. Also stand on an overlook at the southern extreme of the Sudbury basin and look North to Sudbury and south almost to Killarney Park. One of my favourite hikes in Northern Ontario.
