Progreston Falls is a 6.7-metre-high (22 ft) and 16.5-metre-wide (54 ft) terraced curtain waterfall found on private property, (private with permission to access), in Carlisle, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Progreston was once a manufacturing centre on account of the available water power. The community of Progreston deteriorated rapidly as the twentieth century progressed, and by the 1950s was reduced to a handful of residents.
