Located in Durham Conservation Area, McGowan Falls is a cascade falls along the Saugeen River. There are grottos below the falls and even swimming available upstream. The metal bridge crossing the falls says ‘use at own risk’, but it offers cool views down river.

You can spend a whole day here with your family, swimming, hiking, waterfalls. Bring your water shoes to get the best out of it.

Similar to the Holstein Dam, McGowan Falls is regulated by the dam above it as it controls the water flowing towards Lake Huron. Approximately 4 metres tall and 15 metres wide, this cascade waterfall is a hot spot for swimming in the summer months. Despite having a man-made influence, the area itself is beautiful with a wonderful side path on the opposite side of the river. There is even a little tunnel which you might be able to swim along if the water level is low like it is now! Don’t forget to check out the town of Durham before you head out. There are a number of beautiful murals and one even depicts McGowan Falls! You’ll find a few places in town for a bite to eat as well as a cafe or two if you need a caffeine boost.
