How to get there

Lower Chedoke Falls is located on the east branch of the Chedoke
Creek at the east end of the Chedoke Golf Course off the Chedoke
Radial Trail. (Park in the Chedoke Golf Course parking lot and
follow the Radial Trail eastwards to the newly improved Bruce
Trail.) The Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club, with material supplied
by the City of Hamilton, completed improvements in autumn 2007
to this section of the Bruce Trail which includes a lookout towards
Lower Chedoke Falls. This section of the Chedoke Creek is quite
brutal and therefore the Bruce Trail with its lookout is still
a fair distance from the falls. The best time to view Lower Chedoke
Falls from this location is in winter as the leaves are off the
trees.
