Lower Cliffview Falls is a Talus Classic Cascade measuring 4 metres (13 feet) in height and 3 metres (10 feet) in width. It is located on a branch of the Chedoke Creek, and has water flowing over it year round.

History

Lower Cliffview Falls is half of "The Double Waterfall at Chedoke Golf Course", and is featured on the poster "Waterfalls of Hamilton Autumn".

This Double Waterfall, which includes Cliffview Falls, is very unique, as the water flowing from both of these waterfalls merge together into one stream.

How to get there

Drive to the Chedoke Golf Course and park in the parking lot. Just beyond the west end of the lot, behind a chain link fence, the Double Waterfall is visible from the Chedoke Radial Trail. If you want to get up close to it, you have to go eastward to the metal steps leading up the escarpment. Walk beside the steps and go under the first landing towards the waterfall. Make your way through the brush until you reach the Double Waterfall.

There is no trail and it can be slippery and dangerous, so be careful.
