Tiffany Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Tiffany Falls is a beautiful 21-metre cascade tucked away in a steep ravine. It flows year-round, with its strongest currents in the spring and after heavy rainfall. During the winter, the falls take on a stunning transformation, creating impressive ice formations. The water cascades over layered escarpment rock, beautifully framed by a lush hardwood forest and moss-covered cliffs.

This section of the Bruce Trail runs along the Niagara Escarpment and several picturesque waterfalls, including Tiffany Falls, Sherman Falls, and Lower Little Falls.

Sherman Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Sherman Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in the Hamilton area, where Ancaster Creek drops about 17 metres over a wide rock ledge on the Niagara Escarpment into a wooded gorge below. Reached by a short walk through forested terrain on either side of the creek, the waterfall is known for its expansive curtain-like flow and layered rock backdrop, with water often spreading across the cliff face, especially after rain. Surrounded by mature trees and beautiful escarpment scenery, it’s a popular stop for photographers and hikers exploring Hamilton’s network of waterfalls.
