Websters Falls is one of the best-known waterfalls in Hamilton. It has been a community favourite for generations. It's one of the largest falls in Hamilton, at over 20 m high. While it usually has good flow, I have seen it almost dry up during a dry summer. It is also surrounded by a beautiful a public park.
Unfortunately, you are no longer able to descend a set of stone stairs that once led to the river level. I believe that this was closed due to deteriorating conditions as well as mis-use of the site. This site can be very busy in summer, and I highly recommend avoiding it on warm weekends.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
