Devil's Punch Bowl, Waterfall in Stoney Creek, Hamilton, Canada
The Devil's Punch Bowl cascades down 37 meters of the Niagara Escarpment, displaying multiple layers of stratified rock in different colors.
The waterfall formation began 450 million years ago when materials were deposited in an inland sea, with the final shape emerging after the last ice age.
A 10-meter illuminated cross, installed in 1966 by William Sinclair, stands at the top of the falls overlooking Hamilton Harbour and Stoney Creek.
The conservation area provides designated parking facilities, walking trails, and viewing platforms connected to the Bruce Trail system for convenient access.
The waterfall earned the nickname Horseshoe Falls due to its curved cliff face, which mirrors the shape of its larger counterpart at Niagara Falls.
