Boundary Falls is a beautiful waterfall about 6 meters (20 feet) tall. It's known as a "ribbon" waterfall because it's tall and narrow. You can find it near the famous Bruce Trail, right on the edge between the cities of Burlington and Hamilton, Ontario in Canada.
This waterfall is seasonal, which means it doesn't flow all year round. The best time to see Boundary Falls is in the spring, when the snow melts, or after a lot of rain. That's when the water really rushes down!

How to Get There Safely
