Niagara

Take the QEW (Niagara-bound) to Mountain road in Grimsby. Follow Mountain road south and drive up the Niagara Escarpment. At the top of the hill, turn right on to Ridge Road and drive for about one kilometer (Stay Right!). Go past the main Beamer Falls and turn right on the next road, which is Quarry Rd. This should lead you to a small parking lot. Follow the trail into the forest, and look for a trail that descends down the escarpment face. Watch for the small stream that winds through the forest.

This is a tiny little creek that falls over the side of the Forty Mile Creek gorge. This is probably a pretty spot following a heavy rain or during spring freshet. Unfortunately, it's probably dry for the majority of the year, as shown in the photograph. The water falls in two stages, both showing plunge development.
