Lower Beckett Falls is a Ribbon Cascade and Falls,
with the upper portion being the cascade and the lower section
being a partially manmade vertical drop to allow the creek
to flow under Beckett Drive. Its height is 3 metres (10 feet)
and its crest width is 1.2 metres (4 feet) on the cascade
section. Its flow is prominent during rainfalls and the winter
snow melt.

History
Lower Beckett Falls was "discovered" by Joe Hollick

named Beckett who owned the surrounding lands in the early
1900s.
This waterfall is not included in the Hamilton Waterfalls
and Cascades Research & Inventory Report dated Nov. 1,
2007 as it was not yet "found" by the waterfall
group.
How to get there
It is located on the east side of Beckett Drive 100 metres
