This falls is situated right below the opening of a culvert under Scenic Drive. The lower portion of the 'gorge' is armoured by a concrete structure, likely engineered to prevent erosion during flood stage. The trail that provides access to the falls is the old rail right-of-way of the Brantford and Hamilton Electric Railway.

This is by no means an inspiring waterfall, but it does deserve a look if you are trying to see all of the 20-odd waterfalls in Hamilton.
