Mill Falls, Natural waterfall in Ancaster, Hamilton, Canada
Mill Falls is a waterfall in Ancaster where Mill Creek descends over rocky steps through a forested valley. The water creates a series of cascades as it flows downward, carving through layers of exposed stone.
This waterfall supported early industry in the 1800s when settlers harnessed its water power to operate mills in the Ancaster area. The mills processed grain and materials that powered local economic growth during that period.
Local residents gather at Mill Falls throughout the year to participate in nature photography sessions and conduct environmental education programs.
A marked hiking trail connects the parking area to the waterfall for straightforward access. Spring and fall offer the best visiting conditions when water flow is stronger and the surrounding forest shows fuller foliage.
Water volume shifts dramatically with seasons, exposing different rock formations and changing the waterfall's appearance from month to month. Heavy rainfall can make the flow intensely powerful, while summer brings gentler streams that reveal details normally hidden by stronger currents.
