History

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.
