i'm going to tell you that right now here's a look it is very dangerous down here like it's it's really rocky there's a lot of fallen trees and stuff it's really not that safe down here but uh it is just a beautiful vantage point to see this waterfall guys i'm not doing a whole lot of talking here today but i'm just taking it in so okay guys what you see in here is this used to be this whole site used to be some kind of a mill using the water to generate power and this here would be the original part of the original structure of the mill there's an old picnic table in there but uh yeah you can take a look here and you can see that there's still the old original structures from the mill and then as you make them look over here to the right the waterfall's right there i'm super close to it i could get closer but i'm not gonna situated in the heart of the 200 hectare inglis falls conservation area inglis falls is an 18 meter high cascading waterfall created by the sindenham river meeting the edge of a niagara escarpment the erosive power of the water has carved a deep gorge at the base of the falls on a clear day you can see down the valley and into the city of owen sound and out into the owen sound harbor inglis falls is the highlight waterfall for the owen sound area large pretty and very well developed it rarely disappoints this falls is about 18 meters high and exhibits a peculiar fan shaped structure this is not a wilderness waterfall and you should expect a near full parking lot on most summer weekends get away from the crowds follow the trail along the left bank of the river past the wooden lookout platform to the short break in the woods near the road look for a path between two large vertical limestone blocks and continue down into the gorge inglis falls is much more than just a waterfall visitors can enjoy a viewing platform seven and a half kilometers of trails bruce trail access more than 20 species of ferns geological potholes historical remains of a grist mill a historical water filtration plant picnic tables and more inglis falls is rich in history starting in 1843 when peter inglis immigrated to canada and settled in this area by 1845 inglis had purchased a small existing grist mill built just two years previously by a man named mr boyd it was in 1862 that english replaced the old grist mill with a new four-story mill that produced flower bran and feed for animals in 1932 the property was obtained by the city of owen sound for water rights the mill sat idle for two years until purchased by emel henkel he ran the mill until 1945 when a fire completely destroyed it in 1960 the former north gray region conservation authority now known as the grace sawble conservation authority acquired what is presently the english falls conservation area today all that remains of the earlier industrial scene are a family home a stone building silent millstones and the enduring beauty of inglis falls so so okay guys i gotta start walking out i got a bit of a long hike here but uh when i get to the top we'll talk a little bit more about this experience and how it happened and what you guys got to know before you come here so wish me luck on the way out that we don't break any angle see you guys at the top okay uh guys this forest is beautiful at sunset okay guys so here's the deal with inglis falls you're only really allowed to come here and check it out from the upper falls area from the observation decks that they've made um i don't really know why it could because it's dangerous but they got access blocked to all the trails that take you down to the lower side now yes it is very dangerous and stuff like that and i know a lot of people are stupid and don't know how to hike and don't know how to be careful but burbex dave here he knows how to hike he knows how to be careful and watch out for those sharp jagged rocks and giant cliff falls to death anyways guys so so as i was saying they've got all of the access to the lower falls blocked off so that you can't go in probably because it's very dangerous which it is so i'm sure they wouldn't appreciate me telling you guys how to get down but if i could find a way you guys can find a way there's a few other people down there as well so all you got to do is know what to look for and you can easily make your way down to the lower falls but i'm just going to tell you guys now be careful wear good shoes and take it easy take it slow so i'm going to wrap this one up now guys i hope you've liked it english falls so anyways guys thanks for watching i hope you guys like
