It has been a family tradition to walk the trail at Kagawong, usually several times a year. At the end, the reward is the beautiful Bridal Veil falls. Early in the season, they are wide and the river rushes with a hint at the power that carved the limestone pool at its base. During the summer, it teems with vacationers wading over the rocks and amusing themselves walking behind the falls. It's always cool there. The trail isn't as crowded then. Two nearby parking lots and a steep metal staircase mean the falls are 30 seconds away from the highway.
In the autumn with the leaves changing, the gentle .62 mile (1 km) walk is the preferred route. Park near the harbor and take the trail from there. It's short enough that you can enjoy a return trip or climb the stairs and walk along the roadside. Beautiful!
Come late September, things become more interesting as chinook salmon enter the stream to spawn. They fight their way through shallow and rocky parts of the stream, finally arriving in the pool. Some even try to jump the 35' (10.67 meter) falls to reach the lake above. I doubt any actually make it but the edge of the stream and the pool become grave sites for the ones that don't. It's enough that someone in my family dubbed our annual autumn walk, "the dead fish walk." If you are the type to get queasy over a bit of raw nature, don't visit then.
Kagawong is a funky little tourist town in a scenic location. The old limestone building, a former power company, was turned into an art gallery. Meander through the harbor and look out into the North Channel, enjoy an ice cream cone, and be sure to visit the local chocolate factory. In fact, I think "Let's go on the dead fish walk" is our code phrase for visiting the chocolate factory!

Beautiful photo!
I really liked the waterfall!
I like to listen to the sound of falling water.

I found the same image here. Is that yours as well?
Wow! They look close but it's not mine. Most people stand on the staircase landing to take their photos so I'm not surprised they are similar. I was wedged right in its corner.
I was amazed by the resemblance of the leaf pattern, but you are right, when it comes to famous places the same picture is shot by many people.
lol This place can't be that famous! I was looking at the edges of the leaves and water to see a difference and I didn't even take the shot this year. I'm posting a tree photo today where it's impossible there will be another like it!
