Ragged Falls
A stepped waterfall just outside Algonquin's West Gate, a ten-minute walk away, where autumn foliage frames the rushing water.
Located about 20 km outside the West Gate, in Oxtongue River–Ragged Falls Provincial Park, the Oxtongue River tumbles down a granite staircase. From the parking lot it is about a 10-minute walk to the waterfall viewpoint, and you can continue up to the top of the falls. Spring snowmelt makes the water most powerful, while in autumn the red leaves along both banks frame the rapids, making it a popular stop on the way in and out of Algonquin. A day-use permit is required.
