Middle Sydenham Falls : Ontario Waterfalls
The portion of the Bruce Trail that runs north from Sydenham St. in Dundas leads to three waterfalls, the Upper, Middle, and Lower Sydenham Falls. From Dundas, take Sydenham St. north, and you will find access to the Bruce Trail just past Crowley Crt. A short way down the trail is a railway overpass and the Lower Sydenham Falls is beneath it. It is not particularily imposing and may be just a trickle. As you follow the trail upwards, you will come to some wooden steps. The Middle Sydenham Falls is off to your right. It can be a bit difficult to get down too but is much nicer. At the top of the stairs, turn right and you will shortly come to the Upper Sydenham Falls which is the largest.
