Facebook GroupThis waterfalls is a tall ramp form that hugs the steep narrow gorge eroded into the side of the Escarpment. Historically, it was difficult to view because it was surrounded by vegetation. However, a new viewing platform on the west gorge rim makes it much easier to enjoy.
Getting to the base is a real challenge and not recommended. It may even be prohibited. Like many of the waterfalls in Hamilton, this creek is fed by stormwater drainage; the creek is buried under the Westcliffe neighbourhood.
This waterfall can dry right out in summer. It can also be hidden behind lots of vegetation. This is not a destination waterfall, but one that you could check out during a multi-falls exploration day. Visitors park at Cliffview Park and walk down the large metal staircase (the 'Chedoke Stairs'), or park at the Chedoke Municipal Golf Course. The driving directions lead to Cliffview Park
