We're back at the Forks Of The Credit Provincial Park. In this episode we'll get a look at the impressive Lower Cataract Falls, which used to drive a mill and power the homes & businesses of many of the small towns in the region many years ago. The ruins of the old mill are still there, as are the ruins of an old home sitting on top of a wind swept hill within the park, which we'll visit too.

TLTV Ep 47 - Forks Of The Credit (Part 1)
Forks of the Credit is on the famous Bruce Trail. The park features the excitement of the Credit River, as it narrows and rushes through a deep gorge, plunging over a number of waterfalls. Geological features that were deposited or carved out by retreating glaciers, such as kame hills and kettle lakes, are near the river. The park also includes some of the upland, rolling pasture land that is typical of much of southern Ontario. Hiking, picnicking, and fly fishing are popular here in the warmer months. The park is used for cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing in the winter. In this video we'll stroll along some of the park's beautiful paths, passing through meadows and by a large kettle lake. We'll pay a visit to a ruined old silo, watch some fly fishing taking place in the river, and take a look at Upper Cataract Falls.
