McGowan Falls: Ontario Waterfalls
Description
McGowan Falls is a small waterfall (about 8 ft drop) in the town of Durham, south of Owen Sound on Highway 6. To reach it turn west on Grey Rd. 6 off of Highway 6 and go about .6 mile (1 km.) to George St. Turn left and follow the road around a left turn to a small parking lot on the right. The falls are a short walk .
The falls have a walkway across the top which can make photographs difficult but it is a great place for a family visit. Photographers may find picking out small details can give some interesting compositions.
