The tallest waterfall in Hamilton, at just over 40 metres. Unlike most of the other falls though, this is on a relatively small creek, and thus can dry down to almost nothing during summers. Visit at the right time, and this turns into a true gem. One could argue that this deserves 4 stars, but I knocked a star off because of very limited accessibillity and frequent low flow.
In response to the heavy demand, the Conservation Authority has implemented admission fees, parking restrictions and at times, the need to reserve a time slot to visit. In 2023, the admission fee was $11 per car. I highly recommend that you check the web site before visiting. NOTE: Access to the gorge below is prohibited.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
