Great Falls

*** The City Of Hamilton has closed access to below Great Falls. The unofficial lower trail that lead to the base of the falls is signed No Trespassing. ***

Great Falls, also known as Grindstone Falls, has a height of 10m or 33 feet, and a crest width of 5m or 16 feet. It is located on the Grindstone Creek in Waterdown section of Hamilton just off Mill Street, and has year round flow. A viewing platform has been built beside the waterfall as well as a parking lot.

History

This area, known as Smokey Hollow, was once heavily industrial, as the Grindstone Creek was a power source for a sawmill at the base of Great Falls, as well as other mills that appeared over the years. By 1912, however, the mills had all closed, as the water level in Grindstone Creek had gone down and the steam engines that propelled the waterpower were acknowledged to be too dangerous. Today, thanks to a rehabilitation program implemented by Waterdown residents, the locality is a beautiful and well-kept park. The City of Waterfalls Volunteers also spend a lot of time and energy in the winter months trying to keep the stairs and viewing platform clear of snow and ice.

How to get there

If you are coming from Toronto on Hwy 403, take the Waterdown exit and turn right and head up the hill towards Waterdown, in a few miles, you will descend into a valley, the parking lot is just before the train bridge on the left side.

Coming from downtown Hamilton take the Waterdown exit off Hwy 403, turn left and head up the hill towards Waterdown parking lot is on the left just before the train bridge.


In my opinion this is another site of ancient intelligent designed structures that were subject to ancient cataclisms man made or natural. The stones have right angles one had the form of a base of an column. Other sones look like were petrified wood. Other large blocks have a suspicious large smooth surface.

Probably ancient forests were logged and the land was destroyed by this intensive nature destruction.  When the wood was gone the industry of logging and saw mill were gone. All trees are very young and barely keep the land fixed.
Ancient megalitic structures are possible to be found for those that pay attention. 

Probably of Civilization that was.more respectful of nature and the environment. Probably a colony of ancient Lemuria or an older one.
Who know what we can learn if instead of covering or destroying ancient ruins we would.try to learn what was here.

Before 1800 this land was occupied by Native Americans. It will be interesting to learn what they knew about this fall. What was the name of this fall? 
I could not find any reference to the old history of this land.
