Facebook GroupAlbion Falls is one of the largest of the many waterfalls in Hamilton. The waterfall is composed of two very steep washboard type falls. Each section is perhaps 7 to 8 m in height, falling at an angle of about 75 degrees. A small ledge of thicker dolostone separates the two falls.
Unfortunately, access to the base of the falls is strictly prohibited and has been for several years. Don't do it; you WILL likely get ticketed $750. BY-law officers patrol the area.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
