Photo Details
This image was taken on Potts Creek, just above the main Potts Falls. The heavy overhead cover allowed a 13 second exposure with just a polarizer filter (f13, iso100). Leaving the tripod in the car, for some odd reason, the photo was taken with the camera resting firmly on the ledge of the walking bridge.
Potts Falls
An awesome, easy to get to and free to visit location, Potts Falls is part of a small park that serves as more of a rest stop / picnic area for travelers on the busy Highway 11. My guess is, many visitors don't even know there are waterfalls in the very near vicinity.
Potts Falls consists of a few drops on Potts Creek before it empties into the North Branch of the Muskoka River. Just upstream on the Muskoka is the much larger and much more imposing Muskoka High Falls. Potts Falls is calmer and has more of a fantasy world look to it.
The site is located just off Highway 11 at the exit for Cedar Lane and Highway 117. The small waterfall is accessed by a short trail off the main park road. Despite being just 20-30 feet from the road, the small waterfall cannot be seen until you pass through the thick undergrowth. The large waterfall is located at the furthest point in the park and has a walking bridge crossing just above the crest.
