DRIVING DIRECTIONS: from Windsor, take EXIT4 eastbound off HWY101 onto HWY1. Drive 12.7km along this road and turn left onto HWY202 (South Rawdon Road). Follow this road 5.5km and park in the pulloff on the right hand side of the road just past the bridge over the Meander River.

TRAIL DESCRIPTION: hike upstream 1.2km to these small falls. They feature twin chutes carved thru the bedrock of about a 10 foot total vertical drop. During periods of high water, the water overtops the large outcropping next to the falls forming a beautiful cascade over the stone.
