Recolett Falls - French River Provincial Park

The Recolett Falls trail is the only hiking trail in French River Provincial Park. It starts at the visitor centre just off Highway 69 and travels over uneven terrain for 1.5km before coming out at the falls.

I completed this hike in between two large thunderstorms so I had the privilege of having the entire trail to myself until I was on my back to the car.

The scenery is breathtaking ... it was my first time in this part of the Province and I fell in love with the area immediately. The trail consists of dirt paths and occasionally exposed bedrock. There is some minor climbing with thin footholds to navigate, but it is well worth the hike.

The trail

The falls themselves are more accurately called rapids. Although they undoubtedly present a large obstacle for water travelers, don't expect a massive plunge waterfall when you visit. But the shear cliff faces that surround the river are incredible.
