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.

Bruce Trail – Iroquoia Section

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This section of the Bruce Trail runs along the Niagara Escarpment and several picturesque waterfalls, including Tiffany Falls, Sherman Falls, and Lower Little Falls. There is a short side trail that leads to Tiffany Falls, a beautiful 21-meter ribbon cascade framed by steep rock walls and surrounded by a hardwood forest. Just off the main route, you’ll see Sherman Falls, a wider, curtain-like cascade. It’s the perfect place for a relaxing hike amidst some very beautiful scenery.

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.
