It’s just off the Bruce Trail on private property, although the property owner allows the public to visit. This generous offer could be revoked at any time if people decide to misbehave, so be sure to leave this area free of litter."

Although there’s no access to the bottom, Albion Falls is visible from two viewing platforms, so you can admire the gorgeous waterfall while being surrounded by lush greenery."
