Facebook GroupThis tall nearly-vertical waterfall pops out from a large storm sewer pipe at the top of the Hamilton mountain. Like many creeks in Hamilton, this one was buried when the subdivisions on the top of the mountain were developed in the 1950s and 1960s. At the base of the falls, city crews have installed armour stones, intended to slow the flow and dissipate energy during high flows.
On earlier versions of this web site, the site was called Goulding Falls, named after Goulding Ave, which is a residential street above the falls. I later changed the name to match that used by the Hamilton, City of Waterfalls project.
Parking is available in the small lot on Scenic Drive. By following the Radial Trail east for almost 1 km, the falls will be visible on the right.
