Ragged Falls Provincial Pak is located a short distance outside the western gate to Algonquin Park off of Highway 60.
A short trail leads to a lookout of the thundering whitewater falls, one the best in Ontario. Depending on the time of year, you can climb along the rocks (with caution) to the bottom of the falls and vice versa. The view looking up from the bottom of the falls is equally impressive. One great way to access the falls is to rent a canoe at a nearby outfitter (Algonquin Outfitters rents canoes for a reasonable price for the day) and paddle along the Oxtongue River to the base of the falls. The falls are very beautiful, one of the Top Ten waterfalls in Ontario, and well worth a stop while en route to or from Algonquin Park.
If coming by car, a parking permit is required and can be obtained from a meter costing $2 per hour. But if you are staying at the Wolf Den Bunkhouse nearby, it's a nice short 15 minute walk over and you save a few dollars on parking.
