Owu Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Ifelodun, Nigeria

Owu Waterfall is a natural water drop in Ifelodun that cascades down a granite escarpment into a pool below. The falls expand significantly during rainy seasons, displaying the power of seasonal water flow in the region.

Located in the Kukuruku Hills, this waterfall has served as a geographical boundary between two communities for generations. The site has remained largely unchanged over time, making it a lasting landmark for the surrounding region.

Local people gather at this waterfall for seasonal celebrations that blend their customs with the natural water source. These gatherings reflect how the falls remain woven into the daily rhythms and traditions of the surrounding communities.

The falls are most accessible during dry periods when the paths remain easier to walk and conditions are generally safer. Local guides can help navigate the routes and explain the best times to visit the site.

The water maintains a consistently cold temperature year-round, offering refreshment even in the hottest months. This steady chill is a notable feature that sets it apart from other falls in the area.
