About Devils Punchbowl

This dramatic site is a little unique in that the waterfall is very tall and very narrow, but the gorge is comparatively huge. Hmmmm, how do you think this occurred? The base of the waterfall and gorge are currently off-limits to visitors; another casualty of the many rope rescues that have had to occur in Hamilton. There is also a pay parking lot. But the view of the gorge as well as that of the city and the lake, is worth the price, in my opinion. The lower falls can be reached by car at the south end of Mountain Avenue South.
