Dundas Falls is a cool waterfall in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It's about 8 metres (26 feet) tall. This waterfall looks like it has steps, which is why it's called a "terraced classical" waterfall.
You can find Dundas Falls on land owned by the CN company. It flows all year round! The waterfall is also very close to the famous Bruce Trail. It's special because it was changed to help control flooding near the Dundas District Public School. This helps keep the school safe from too much water.
