M	Marjorie McDonald on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hard to find but that keeps visitors (and their garbage) to a minimum. Even a rudimentary map showing distance would be helpful. The map online shows the trail on the left but not the right and the map posted on site doesn't have distance so you have no idea how long the trail is. A few beautiful views but most of the trail is through the woods.
A	Aaron Whitaker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful little park. I was looking for something to do for an hour or so while I was in Bancroft and this was really close so went for a hike. In the winter some ice cleats or crampons would be nice to have but you don't "need" them. After a short quiet walk along the river you can hear the rapids and the falls. It's beautiful in the winter with the ice formations and snow on the trees. I would highly suggest taking the short walk to the falls area if your in Bancroft.
R	Rob Meyer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic set of falls/rapids. Loud! Easy walk. Follow the trail 0.5km downstream. There's another set of rapids on the west side of park..Good for kids but, consider life jackets if they go down close to the action.
L	Lorie Hartshorn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of our favourite hikes in the Bancroft area. It’s short but spectacular as you walk beside beautiful rapids that flow into a serene lake. You can sit out on huge rocks and even go for a swim in the lake. The springtime has the highest water level for spectacular rapids and water falls.
S	Stephanie S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful trail, a bit icy driving in and walking through but quiet and serene. Very lovely to visit and listen to the rapids.
M	Maybel Rd on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place. It starts off quiet. The water is still. As you go along the trail the water keeps flowing so smoothly until you reach the falls. The falls are beautiful! The most from the water hits your face ever so slightly and the sunlight just makes everything shine! I recommend these falls to anyone passing by. It’s worth it
O	Olga Leonenko on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful place, I enjoyed hiking there! It's not too big, with mostly easy hikes exept for the very last part immediately before the rapids/waterfalls, just a bit mire rocks. I found plenty of hemlocks, large white trilliums, American fly-honeysuckle, lonicera, hobblebush, white violet... I removed one star because of HORRENDOUS and a narrow road leading to the tiny place where you can park. If you have low-sitting car, you'd better find a parking outside, and walk to get there. Also there was a young family with two small kids who brought drone to operate there! Would be nice if a "no drone" line was added to the poster with a list of prohibited items. . Because apparently you cannot rely on common sense anymore.
J	Jessica Edgar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the newest provincial park in the area however don’t let that fool you, it is NOT like the provincial park you’re used to. Just an FYI, I have lived here all my life. There are to separate entrances, one on each side of the river, both leading to different yet beautiful views if you know where to go. The East side is the nicer side to walk on if hiking is too difficult, however you will have to hike up to the lookout that is off the main trail. The west side is the side that will take you down to the chutes and small lake. This side is for hikers. The roads that lead into these trails (especially the west side) are extremely old pavement that is all bubbled & broken up so watch out if you’re in a low vehicle. They have not yet started charging for this park but now that so many tourists are staring to visit & with how much work the “park” needs this will likely change sooner than later. Please be safe here & DO NOT LITTER! Please RESPECT nature & our beautiful Egan Chutes if you chose to enjoy. Thank you.
