The city of Hamilton in Ontario, Canada is home to more than 100 waterfalls and cascades, most of which are on or near the Bruce Trail as it winds through the Niagara Escarpment. Ontario's internationally recognized Niagara Escarpment provides perfect geological conditions for waterfalls to occur, from Tobermory to Niagara Falls.

There are around 100 falls in the bellow area.

Niagara Escarpment

Many of the falls in west Hamilton are accessible from the Chedoke Radial Trail. It is built on what was once the route for the Brantford and Hamilton Electric Railway owned by the Cataract Power Light and Traction Company (later Dominion Power and Transmission).^[4] The "Five Johns", (John Cameron, John Dickenson (Canadian politician), John Morison Gibson, John Moodie, Sr. and John Sutherland), formed The Cataract Power Co. Ltd. introducing electric power to Hamilton in 1898. On August 25, 1898, power was sent twenty seven miles from DeCew Falls, St. Catharines, using water from the old Welland Canal. New industries, such as the forerunners of the Steel Co. of Canada (Stelco) and Canadian Westinghouse, were attracted here by the cheaper, more efficient power. One time this Company controlled hydro power from Brantford to St. Catharines, including the Hamilton Street Railway and the area's radial lines. Back then the city's nickname was "The Electric City."

There are four waterfall types and they are designated as follows:

Ribbon – height is notably greater than its crest width; stream forms a thin ribbon of water.
Classical – height and crest width are nearly equal.
Curtain – height is notably smaller than its crest width.
Cascade – vertical drop is broken into a series of steps causing water to cascade down incline.

Some of the criteria used to define a separate Hamilton waterfall include: The waterfall has to have a vertical drop of at least 3 metres or 10 feet (3.0 m) either as a vertical drop or a cascade, the crest width has to be at least 1 metre or 3 feet (0.91 m) wide, the waterfall must have some natural component and not be entirely man-made; If a waterfall is beside another waterfall but coming from two separate creeks or streams, then they could be considered as two separate waterfalls and the waterfall has to be located within the boundaries of the new City of Hamilton.

On January 1, 2001 the new city of Hamilton was formed from the amalgamation of the Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth and its six municipalities: Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough, Glanbrook, and Stoney Creek. Before amalgamation, Hamilton had a population of 331,121 divided into 100 neighbourhoods. The new amalgamated city had 490,268 people in over 200 neighbourhoods.

A listing of the 100 waterfalls found along the Bruce Trail and the Niagara Escarpment in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Most can be easily accessed, or viewed by public lands and some are on or border private property. As of July 2008, the waterfall count for Hamilton was 100.^[1] Twenty of the waterfalls are found to be currently inaccessible because they are either on private property in which the Bruce Trail does not traverse or it's too dangerous to access these waterfalls.

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.

Elliott Falls Ontario Canada

Possible.ancient megalithic structures.

The river has stones with intelligent design forms.possible the ancient builders had in consideration the ability of fish to go up to the stream that the present builders of hydrocentrale.cared not to consider.the present hidrocentrale is in a state of disrepair and degradation.

Ancient ruins observable as having stones that luck like petrified wood..

The present historians do not even consider researching the site.

The builders use probably the Stone.

The present government is interested in erasing the memory of the past civilizations.

This is done by renaming the site and removing the native population.

A pretty little falls that has been partially modified by a hydroelectric development. The small hydro building diverts most of the Gull River's water flow, but at least some of the flow is allowed through a narrow natural channel located on the side of the river opposite to the hydro building. The falls was probably larger at one time, and you can see part of the old falls below the water control dam, next to the hydro building. By following the trail to the lower (main) falls, you will pass a few cascade sections of the river. The lower falls is an irregular cascade about 2 to 3 meters in height. The irregular nature makes for an ever changing display, depending on river stage. People can swim at the base of the falls (to the left of the photographer's location in the accompanying photograph.
