09 Ontario ... Beaver River

The Beaver River in southern Ontario flows from the Niagara Escarpment to empty into Nottawasaga Bay, an inlet of Georgian Gay, at Thornbury, Ontario. The Beaver Valley is a deep wedge on the western side of the escarpment, formed by a much larger ancestor of this river. In 1853, the Eugenia Falls and 'Gold' were discovered by Brownlee . Hundreds of farmers rushed to make their fortune, only to find that it was pyrite known as 'fools gold' :(The river is a moderate size and at Eugenia Falls it falls into a deep gorge. Thousands of years of erosion reveal a section of the escarpment that stretches across Ontario from Niagara. A 'fall' of roots over the cliff.World War I soldiers are honoured by a statue. The Bruce Trail is a hiking trail that laces across the Grey County.
