Upper Hopkins Cascade is a washboard
classical cascade. Its height is 3.2 metres (10 feet) and its
crest width is 2.3 metres, or 8 feet. Located on a tributary
of Borer's Creek, (sometimes called Hopkins Creek) it has impressive
flow during seasonal storms and during
the snow
melt.
History
This waterfall was "found" by Paul Beneteau of the
Bruce Trail Iroquoia Section and Joseph Hollick in 2006.
How to get there
Upper Hopkins Cascade is about a 20 minute walk from the Bruce
Trail access on the west side of Valley Road in Dundas. Follow
the Bruce Trail westerly to where the Trail crosses Hopkins Creek
at a bridge. Follow the creek upstream to the fork (there is
no trail and it may be rough). Upper Hopkins Cascade is on the
right side of the fork.
