Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls is a waterfall on Manitoulin Island where water from the Kagawong River cascades down into a natural pool ringed by dense forest. The surrounding landscape consists of wilderness and trees that define the character of the place.

The waterfall served as a meeting point for local communities starting in the early settlement days of the island in the 19th century. This location was long important to people who lived on and visited the island.

The Anishinaabe and other First Nations communities of Manitoulin Island regard this place as sacred ground for their traditional ceremonies. Visitors can sense the spiritual importance this waterfall holds for Indigenous peoples today.

There is parking and maintained walking paths to the waterfall with informational signs about the local ecosystem and safety. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and follow the marked trails, especially when paths are wet.

In winter months the falling water creates natural ice formations that transform the cascade into a frozen column. This natural display occurs only under specific conditions and is a rare sight to see.
