Little Falls, also known as Little Falls on Wilson Street and
Waterfall on Wilson Street, is a Terraced Ribbon Cascade. It
is 7 metres tall (23 feet) and its crest measures 1.2 metres
(4 feet), although the crest widens out lower down to 3 metres
(10 feet). It experiences its strongest flow during rainstorms
and the winter snow melt.
This waterfall is located on a tributary of the
Ancaster Creek.
History
Little Falls was first featured on the poster "Waterfalls
of Hamilton Seasons" in 2002 and was called Waterfall on
Wilson St. at that time. In 2004 the Hamilton Waterfall Group
assigned the name of Little Falls to it.
How to get there
To view this waterfall, drive up Wilson St. towards Ancaster
and just past where the two lanes upbound merge into one lane.
Little Falls is located on the east side of Wilson St. at that
location.
Little Falls can be viewed from a car when driving upbound on
Wilson Street if the leaves are off the trees.
