This little gem is pictured on the back cover of the second edition of our book, which was published in 2011. It is a narrow, washboard-style waterfall, crossed at the top by a little wooden bridge that carries the Bruce Trail. The falls is about a 10 min hike from Sherman Falls, although this trail may now be closed. Please check local sources.
NOTE: As of 2022, you can still use the upper overflow parkikng lot for the Ancaster Mill, but only in the morning. A trail at the north edge of the parking lot leads into the woods. Turn right at the junction and hike to the falls. This is a nice 10 min walk lthrough the woods. This is subject to change and provided courtesy of the Old Mill. Don't get towed!
