Webster's and Tew's Waterfalls

Last Saturday we took a Saturday afternoon drive to Webster's and Tew's Falls. The weather and the drive were perfect for a Saturday afternoon.
There was a nice lookout over Webster's Falls not far from the parking lot, as well as there was a nice park just upstream of the falls. The park has a couple of small bridges over Spencer Creek, a cute little treed gazebo, and a nice little shelter that you could use for a picnic on a rainy day. The children enjoyed the nice open spaces and throwing sticks into the creek.
After we got tired of the park we then went back past the parking lot to a trail that leads over to Tew's Falls. It was a relatively short hike to Tew's Falls, at which there is a little man made lookout from which you can watch the falls. If we would have had more time we would have continued along the trail to Dundas Peak which is supposed to only be another couple of kilometers further along the trail.
Other notes. Parking was five dollars per vehicle. There is parking at both Tew's Falls and Webster's Falls. The path that heads down into the gorge, below Webster's Falls was closed, probably because it was still early in the spring and the ground was very wet and slippery.
