History

Cliffview Falls is located beside Cliffview Park on Hamilton’s

walking on the west side of the park adjacent to the deep ravine
or canyon, you may not see the waterfall if leaves are on the
trees, but you will hear it.

How to get there

If you want to see Cliffview Falls from the bottom, you have
to climb down the metal stairs at the north-west corner of Cliffview
Park to the Chedoke Golf Course. Then walk up the escarpment
beside the stairs to the first landing, go under the landing
and go westward towards the first creek, there is no trail. Once
you find the first creek or ravine, follow it upstream about
200 m to Cliffview Falls. This is a very difficult route and
fairly dangerous. Waterproof boots are recommended as you may
have to walk up the creek in places.
