Sauble Falls Provincial Park

Sauble Falls Provincial Park is a natural area along the Sauble River in Bruce County featuring cascading waterfalls and scenic rapids. The property is divided by a county road into two distinct sections that each offer different camping experiences and outdoor activities.

A sawmill was built at the falls in 1867 to harness the waterpower for processing lumber from the local forests. It was destroyed in 1937 as logging activity in the region declined significantly.

The park offers visitors a chance to observe Rainbow Trout and Chinook salmon fighting upstream during spring and fall spawning runs. This natural spectacle draws people who want to witness the fish in their struggle against the falls.

The park has campsites on both sides of the river with different facilities suited to various group sizes and camping styles. Access to the falls is straightforward, but visitors should watch for slippery rocks and strong currents, especially after heavy rainfall.

During high water levels, certain sections of the falls transform into natural water slides, creating an unusual experience for adventurous visitors. These conditions typically occur during snowmelt and after intense rainfall.
