The area became a cottage country hot spot as wealthy American tourists came to settle the area in the 1860s. They bought large tracts of land around the lake. Since most of the cottages remain in the hands of the families, the shores of the lake remain untouched over the years. The clear waters and […]

Fagans (or Feighan) Falls is about 3 to 4 meters high, with waters that cascade over a length of 10 to 15 meters. The picturesque waterfall is located under a little water level dam on the north end of Old Mill Bay on Ahmic Lake. Getting there is tricky but worth it. Turn towards the […]

This artificial waterfall was constructed along with the locks and dam in Magnetawan. The dam was made to raise the water’s height in nearby Ahmic Lake, enabling steamboats to enter and deposit passengers and cargo in the harbour. Because of their man-made nature, these falls are conveniently visible from Highway 124. The total height of […]
