Inglis Falls
Inglis Falls
One of three waterfalls that surround the city of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada, Inglis Falls is the best known and most visited. Situated in the heart of the 200-hectare Inglis Falls Conservation Area, Inglis Falls is an 18 metre high cascade, created by the Sydenham River meeting the edge of the Niagara Escarpment.
The water over the falls used to be partially diverted for hydro electric power generation, grain milling, and Owen Sound drinking water.
