smerchly 2,757 Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 The barriers/fences are up ...no parking anywhere near the falls , and people have still been climbing the gorge ? When they put the road signs up I was pi$$ed because I parked at a few spots to access Moody . It's a long walk with gear now to get there .....and I haven't fished there at all this year . It looks like there have been some people trespassing and ignoring the gates, fences and signs ( as usual) and the police are involved with the issue at this time . It was mentioned that charges may be laid with fines and possible rescue fees . ...a brief statement from 411 Niagara ..... Niagara 411 News @Niagara_411 St. Catharines fire along with Police and EMS are all responding to the area behind the Morningstar Mill on Decew Road (Decew Falls) for reports of a possible high angle / water rescue.

мормышка 189 Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 If area closed to public, then yes, applicable charges should apply for trespassing, including rescue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone spotted a body in the water ....don't know yet if it was found above or below the falls . We used to go there this time of the year to take pictures of the autumn colours at the gorge/falls .

Snags 389 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I think the body was below the falls based on some things I read. If you know your way around that area, you can still get to the falls coming in from the various paths that exist that start nowhere near the mill. Pretty sure they fenced off the simple access areas only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smerchly 2,757 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 We used to walk to the lower falls from the flatts (40-50 yrs ago) ...climbing over many fallen trees and slippery rocks to catch small trout that were stocked nearby . Never heard anything more about the body they found , maybe a suicide ....or just slipped and fell from the crest of the falls . Sad either way.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
410001661 8 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 This is the same crap has been happening in Hamilton. I grew up there hiking all the falls and gorges as kids and we NEVER heard of a 'rope rescue'!!?? Now that Hamilton advertised itself as the city of waterfalls there is a steady flow of citiots from Sauga/TO and there is a 1-2 rope rescues every weekend. What the hell is wrong with people?

genec 265 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Its the citiots that come out with their smooth soled leather shoes and proceed to slip all over in the rocks...they think everything is like concrete sidewalks to walk on...no brains! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
