Little Rock Chapel Falls is a ribbon waterfall with a total
height of 8 metres (26 feet) and a crest width of 1.5 metres
(5 feet). It experiences
its strongest flow during seasonal rainfalls and after the winter
snow melt.
History
Little Rock Chapel Falls was "discovered" by Robert
Nixon of Ancaster in Spring 2005. He was one of the members of
the Hamilton Waterfall Group.
How to get there
The top of Little Rock Chapel Falls is located on the Bruce
Trail immediately north of the parking lot on Rock Chapel Road
at the Rock Chapel Sanctuary. The small creek that supplies this
waterfall drains the road side ditches and farmers' fields.
It
is extremely difficult to reach the bottom of this waterfall.
The quickest way to reach it is park at the Rock Chapel Sanctuary
on Rock Chapel Road in Flamborough. Follow the Bruce Trail
northerly and just before you reach Borer's Falls, you have
to climb down the escarpment. There is no trail, it is steep,
difficult and dangerous. Keep an eye for poison ivy
as well. Once at the bottom of the escarpment, follow
the escarpment wall about 200 metres southerly and again it
is rough going. It is almost directly opposite Lower Borer's
Falls.
