Of the local waterfalls near Owen Sound, this is the most accessible. A short walk from the parking lot and you are essentially right there. It is a very pretty falls and there are walkways that give you two distinct views. There is also an interpretive centre but it was closed when we got there.
Parking is apparently $10, but if you go off-season there is no attendant on duty and since you pay using an online application, the parking is essentially free.
A good place if you are going with someone with limited mobility who likes waterfalls.

The Inglis falls are probably one of the best falls in the Grey county area. Parking cost is 10 CAD. Visiting to the base of the falls is not allowed anymore. The falls are amazing. There is a way where you can get from the side of the road and get to see the falls. Don't need to go inside and park, can park outside and there is a way to get to the falls.

Despite an overcast drizzly start to the day, we still stopped at Inglis Falls to conclude our time in Owen Sound. And it was worth it just to see the falls and the dam. Hearing the water rushing down and seeing the view looking up, it's quite impressive. The historic markers enlightened us to the history of the grist and saw mill that operated there for so many decades. If it had been nicer, we would have walked the trails. There is a $10 daily fee.

We almost turned back when we saw the Road Closed sign. After a little investigating we realized the road to the falls was immediately BEFORE the closure. So glad we persevered. We didn’t do any hiking, just enjoyed the picturesque falls for a very short visit. People complain about the $6 parking fee but, if we don’t financially support conservation areas, we’ll be disappointed when they eventually disappear. Paying the fee was easy using my phone. We were glad we visited.

Oct. 1, 2020 . Very powerful, beautiful, rugged and spectacular waterfalls . Mostly only viewed from atop of the surrounding cliff area . A short trail created around the top for great views and snapshots angles . Any rough paths to the gorge bottom are blocked off, and very risky to venture on . Falls are located beside the parking lot that charges $6 by phone app' .

The waterfalls are beautiful but they charge you $10.00 for parking. It takes a total of 10 minutes to walk the path to see the falls, take the pictures and walk back to the car. $10.00 for 10 minutes. That just seems excessive .

The falls are only part of this attraction. The trails all around are wonderful to walk on. Not so much for bikes, but for nature walking it's great. The trails continue down into the valley and go for quite a distance, for those that wish to go that way I would not recommend a stroller as there are steep inclines and rough areas. The falls of course are very scenic and there are some old ruins about to check out too.

I’ve been to a couple conservation areas and this one is in the top. There is a 7km trail that will take you beyond the falls or, If you come in from the “conservation building” you can hike 3km into the falls. Most people went “inglis fall road” which takes you directly to the falls. We hiked the trail and it was lovely.

It was a beautiful place and the falls is beautiful, truly a hidden gem. My husband and I just stood and watched the water falls. Very relaxing. The only problem I had was the washrooms very disgusting. The cost was only $10.00 for parking. Not a terrible price to pay, especially if you are planning on walking the trails or having a picnic there.

We hiked from Harrison Park which is free. It's a large beautiful park with camping. It is tricky to find the starting point - park the car in the main area facing the restaurant/washroom, walk to the right toward the camping area to the end: sign for Inglis Falls. It isn't well marked & we mistakenly took the longer uphill trail -90mins; they are many. It's a 40 minute hike one way - 2.5kms. Follow the blue trailmarkers & at the Inglis Falls Areboretum sign turn left (We took the other longer path). The blue markers become white & red. It a beautiful hike with some rocky & tree roots protruding. One needs sturdy shoes/Hiking boots.

Do you have to book a parking reservation in advance?

is there a parking loot for this? is there a parking or entry fee? what is the hike like to the falls? any + all info is appreciated!
Written April 16, 2020
Yes there was a parking fee. Once a person at a gate and another was on the honor system. But free parking out on the street and its a very short walk in. Actually you can see Inglis Falls without any hike. I am disabled so I need easy paths. There are beautiful easy paths and my daughter said hikes to the other falls weren challenging but doable. Not sure if the park is open during the COVID issue. Park on the street and hike in :)

We used to be able to get to the bottom of the falls partway through a hole in the wall path on the left side. It appears to have been blocked off. Can you tell me why and if there is other access along the Bruce Trail?
Written August 17, 2018
If it is not safe, why take the chance, you not only put your self at risk also the people who have to rescue you.
Because of so many people had to be rescued in the Hamilton area from the waterfalls, they have now fenced off some of those falls and people can't see or get close to the falls any longer.
So some people spoil it for others.
Play safe.

Sorry no there is no swimming at Inglis Falls, Grey Couny. The river bed is shallow and very rocky.
