A very small, but picturesque falls in Confederation Park, on the south side of the Grand River. A small creek flows parallel to Scotland Street for about 1.5 km.

As is common in many urban areas, the creek is buried and flows as a storm sewer. It is only once the creek enters the wooded park where it daylights for the last few hundred metres.

The creek first tumbles over a small bedrock exposure before flowing under a small boardwalk and sitting area. Just before it drains to the Grand River, it reaches the main waterfall, which here is about 2-3 m high. I suspect that this runs dry or close to it, during the summer months.

From the parking area, a trail leads downstream and veers towards the Grand River. The St. Andrews Cascade is encountered first. The little Confederation Park Falls is just another 50-60 m further downstream.

Waterfalls of Ontario Project

This project has been online since 1999, in print since 2003, and on social since 2011. (See archives: 2003, 2012, 2018). It was the first to inventory and map Ontario's waterfalls for recreational purposes. With your continued help, it grows. Learn more...
