Tews Falls, Ribbon waterfall in Greensville, Canada
Tews Falls is a waterfall in a gorge near Greensville, Ontario, fed by two streams from above. The water drops over multiple rock layers that reveal different shades of stone and geological bands.
The gorge was carved by water over thousands of years, removing softer layers and exposing the harder rock beneath. The valley now displays how flowing water has shaped the land across a long timespan.
The waterfall sits within a nature reserve that draws local visitors and families to experience flowing water and the surrounding landscape. The gorge serves as a gathering place where people connect with the natural environment on the Escarpment.
A short walk from the parking area brings you to the viewing platform directly above the falls. The waterfall is most impressive after rain when water volume is higher and the flow more powerful.
The rock face displays distinct color bands of red, grey, and light stone that reveal the geological timeline of the region. These layers formed in different ancient periods and show visitors a cross-section of earth history at a glance.
