Name of the river flowing over the waterfall |

Waterfall classification - refer to Waterfallogy
101 page |
| Size |
Overall magnitude of the waterfall. Many
sources classify waterfalls by height : I don't like this because
it can be misleading. |
| Visitability |
Subjective rating of how "fun" it is to
visit the waterfall. Large ones can have low visitability,
because other than looking at the falls, there may be little else
to do. Little falls can have high ratings if you can swim,
or get great photos. |
| Accessibility |
Free, Private, Pay site, etc. Please avoid
private property. If in doubt, ask first! |
| Activity |
Subjective measure of how busy the site is likely to
be. Varies widely depending on the time of year. Waterfalls
in urban areas (eg. Bracebridge Falls) are termed "busy" |
| Walk Time |
Approximate time to walk to the falls (one way) from
the parking area. |
| Trail |
How easy/safe is the trail to the falls. Those
falls marked "Wheelchair accessible" are not guaranteed
to be this way; this is my best guess. |
| Gorge Access |
How easy/safe is it to access the gorge, or the area
below the waterfall. |
| Other Trails |
Are there other walking trails connected to the
waterfall site? |
| Nearest Place |
The nearest settlement or lake found on a detailed
road map. |
| NTS Map |
Refers to the Federal Topographic map on which the
waterfall is found. NOTE: Some falls are not labeled on the
map |
| Easting |
Corresponds to the vertical blue grid lines on the
topographic map. Use the second and third digit of the
easting to find the right easting line. Use the fourth digit
to get the distance (in tenths) across to the next vertical blue
line. |
| Northing |
Corresponds to the horizontal blue grid lines on the
topographic map. Use the third and fourth digit of the
northing to find the right northing line. Use the fifth
digit to get the distance (in tenths) across to the next vertical
blue line. |
