Tiffany Falls, Waterfall in Ancaster, Hamilton, Canada
Tiffany Falls is a waterfall near Ancaster that plunges into a deep stone ravine surrounded by the Niagara Escarpment. The water crashes down limestone cliffs and collects in a pool at the base of the gorge.
The falls developed through water erosion along the Niagara Escarpment, a rock formation shaped over hundreds of millions of years. This geological feature has influenced the landscape of the Hamilton area since ancient times.
The conservation area connects multiple natural spaces along the Niagara Escarpment, forming part of Hamilton's network of 100 documented waterfalls.
Access to the site is through a marked trail from the Wilson Street East parking area, with a gentle approach suitable for most visitors. Plan your visit for clear weather when the trails are driest and safest.
During winter, the cascading water freezes into vertical ice formations that attract climbers seeking a natural training ground. This seasonal transformation makes the site a destination for ice climbing practitioners from the surrounding areas.
