Fourth Falls is so far, my farthest and most remote waterfall.  Just getting here was a crazy adventure.

I drive a Kia, and a Kia is not known for its clearance and ability to navigate Northern Ontario roads!  I plot my coordinates into my Google Maps and start driving, all is going well as I drive the Concession #3.

Google Maps seems to show a road that almost leads directly to the waterfall, but boy was the map wrong!

I turn onto a dirt road from the concession, taking me deep into a forested area, bumps, rocks, potholes, hills, overgrowth that consumes the whole road and even some flooding in parts of the road.  If I hit a dead end or a washout, there is nowhere turn around and I have to drive in reverse all the way out. 

Even worse, if I bottom out, get stuck or blow a tire, there's no cell phone service to call CAA so I will be stuck walking back to the road to wave down a local with a truck, or find cell service to call for back up!

Slowly, carefully, I navigate this rough terrain where I finally come to a dead end, my GPS says the drive is about another 5 minutes, but the road ends here and I have to walk the rest of the way in.

Fully aware that I am not only deep in black fly country but also bear country, I lather on the bug spray, place a bug net over my head and mount my air horn to my shoulder strap in the event of a run in with Smokey the Bear.

It takes me about 20-30 minutes to hike this rough terrain down a gradual and the steep rocky decline into the forest.

Finally I start to hear the familiar sound of rushing water and just like that, the trail ends and the forest opens up to a vast beautiful rock formation that takes me right into this beautiful natural and wild waterfall, I've finally made it!

I place my gear down, sit on a rock and take this sight in, I am now alone in the most remote and beautiful place I have ever seen, in my entire life!  I need to soak in this moment, let it sink in and make the trek in worth it.

Watch the video and I hope I've managed to do the beauty of this waterfall some justice!
