Directions
Difficult to access. Found on the Hamilton Conservation Authority lands. You could access this waterfall by going through private property (by getting permission from the owners) or by scaling the relatively steep hill to the left of Tiffany Falls itself. Proper hiking boots and equipment recommended for the trek.[4] Some refer to this waterfall as being on private property but, according to the City of Waterfalls, "...it is located on Hamilton Conservation Authority lands, but the only way to reach it - without going onto private property- is to climb the steep hill to the left of Tiffany Falls and follow the creek upstream for 100 metres. This climb is very dangerous and should be attempted only by those who have proper hiking equipment." [5] The fact that the waterfall is on HCA lands is confirmed on the Hamilton Conservation Authority website.[6] It is not recommended that any visit this waterfall at this time at the climb can be quite treacherous.
