Felkers Falls

Felkers Falls is a waterfall fed by East Red Hill Creek that drops over the Niagara Escarpment. The water falls approximately 22 meters and creates a flowing stream in the basin below.

The waterfall formed a natural landmark during Hamilton's industrial growth in the late 1800s when water power drove local factories. This resource played an important role in the area's economic development.

The falls form part of Hamilton's identity as the Waterfall Capital of Ontario, with over 100 documented cascades within the city limits.

Peter Street Trail leads to observation platforms where the falling water is clearly visible. The path is accessible and offers several vantage points to enjoy the view.

The surrounding gorge exposes rock layers millions of years old that reveal former seafloor sediments. These geological formations tell the story of an ancient sea landscape buried beneath the land today.
