This is a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere and an absolute must see! We absolutely loved it! It is literally right next to the parking lot and there is a historic mill on site as well as some museum artifacts such as the milling stones on display. There is a lookout for pictures or you can hike down to the bottom (not permitted in winter). We loved visiting in Feb. as it was stunning to see the ice and snow that accompanied the falls. The ice crystals looked magical like they were from a hidden cave or movie. We are definitely coming back to view the falls in the spring or summer and hike to the bottom! Recommend strong footwear for this site and there is a fee to be donated to the conservation authority for parking.

This beautiful location is absolutely ideal for children. Even as young as 2 year olds! It's very family friendly with benches for mothers and babes, delicious French fries to order, fun waterslides, animals that are always a highlight for my children, little story time homes along the path, a train to ride, and the list goes on and on. Thankful I could experience this place as a child, and now take my own children!

Kelso Beach Park has been delighting visitors for decades, but it was so nice to visit on this Thanksgiving weekend and see all the upgrades that are being done. A wonderful spot to stroll by the waters of Owen Sound Bay, use the kids playground or have a picnic. The splash pad was still working and it just looked so pretty. It's great for sunsets too!
