"Buttermilk Falls could be considered a hidden gem but it’s far from hidden as it sits under a bridge on Mountain Brow Blvd near Limeridge Rd on the East mountain. It is more correct to say it is just overshadowed by the more popular Albion Falls which is less than 1 minute up the road by car. Buttermilk Falls is approximately 75 feet high (23 metres) and runs almost year round."

"Continuing to head west, we had to make a stop for one of the most popular waterfalls in the whole area: Albion Falls. Honestly, it did not disappoint. This massive waterfall (seen from a distance if you park where we did) is made up of many little “steps” and layers so the water cascades down and down into the pool below."

"At 41 metres high, it’s just a few metres shorter than Niagara Falls!. Located in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area, which is part of the Hamilton Conservation Area, it’s very popular spot along with nearby Webster’s Falls. Access is not permitted to the bottom of the falls anymore but there are two platforms where you can view the falls and gorge."

"Note: Spencer Gorge—which includes Webster Falls, Tew Falls and Dundas Peak—will remain closed until September 2020 due to COVID-19. Webster’s Falls is not the tallest, but is the largest falls around, and is super, super pretty!. The scenery is enhanced by the bridge over Spencer’s Creek right before the cascade of water."
