Old Dundas Road Falls is a beautiful waterfall in Ancaster, Ontario, which is part of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This waterfall is about 24 metres (or 79 feet) tall. It's known as a "complex ribbon cascade." This means the water flows down a wide, uneven rock face, looking a bit like ribbons.
The waterfall is on private land. This means it's not a public park, and you need special permission to visit it. It's important to always respect private property.
About Old Dundas Road Falls
Old Dundas Road Falls is fed by Ancaster Creek. This creek flows over the Niagara Escarpment, which is a long cliff that stretches across parts of Ontario. Many waterfalls in the Hamilton area are found along this escarpment.
The waterfall is about 10 metres (33 feet) wide. It's a peaceful spot, often hidden away, which makes it a special place to see. Waterfalls like this are formed over many years as water slowly wears away the rock.
