West of Fifty Lower Falls, also known as
Thomas Falls, is a Twin Classic Falls and Cascade, as it
has two separate vertical drop sections with cascades above
and below. Its height with the cascades is 3.8 metres (12
feet) to 5.5 metres (18 feet) depending on how much of the
cascades is included. Its width is 4.3 metres (14 feet).
Located on a tributory of Fifty Creek, it experiences stronger
flow during peak storm events and after the winter snow melt.
History
West of Fifty Lower Falls was found by Joe Hollick in
2007 when he was out photographing all the new waterfalls
that David Wootton had just discovered between Fifty
Road and McNeilly Rd. Apparently Dave had missed this one
because it is located below (north) of the Bruce Trail
and Dave had concentrated his efforts on new waterfalls
above (south) of the Bruce Trail.
How to get there
This waterfall is located below the Bruce Trail on private
property about a 10 minute walk west of Fifty Road.
