I have recently come to appreciate how nature can transform among seasons in Southern Ontario. And although many people would never consider hiking in -15 degree weather, many of the trails are worth exploring in the winter.
Decew falls is a 22m waterfall with an old mill and heritage site at the top. It consists of small trails around it, which are an easy level of hiking. For those adventure seekers, I highly recommend to take the steep trek down the gorge. Here you can explore an "off the beaten path" experience with a more challenging walk to an even more beautiful destination. This shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes to walk but you will find yourself spending more time taking pictures and enjoying the scenery!
Summer: At the bottom of the falls you may swim in the small poolof water.

WARNING: Be careful! The gorge is extremely steep and often slippery. Great caution must be taken to avoid any injuries. Make sure you find the safest pathway down and whenever going off the path always go with someone. - sorry for the typical disclaimer.. but it's true!
