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.
