Waterfall Days: Tiffany Falls

Another great waterfall found sitting on the Bruce Trail,  nestled in the Niagara Escarpment found in Hamilton. Tiffany Falls is named after Dr. Oliver Tiffany; a doctor that served in the district surrounding the falls for forty years. Apparently, he was a loved man by the community. It is said that over 600 people attended his funeral.

A dry river due to Tiffany Fall's lack of water flow.

 

These pictures were taken on a very humid and hot day. Hamilton had not received rain for quite some time and the lack of water is clearly evident here. (It seems like a perfect time to post this because the waterfall should be over flowing with water after the week we just had, which will make for a great surprise.) When I visited there was a lady with her two dogs coming as I was leaving. She told me that she brings her dogs to Tiffany Falls for a little swim to cool off during the summer months. I am sure her furry friends weren't too impressed to see what they had found that day.

Clearly marked and well maintained trail to Tiffany Falls.

 Tiffany Falls is located off of Main St. West Hamilton (which turns into Wilson St.) half way up the access way to Ancaster. There is a small parking lot off on the right side of road (if you are ascending the escarpment) where you can park and walk on the Bruce Side trail the rest of the way. Everything is clearly marked and it is not a hard trail or a very long one.  
Happy Waterfalling!
