Location

The waterfall is difficult to access. It is on Hamilton Conservation Authority lands, and may be accessed only by scaling the steep hill to the left of Tiffany Falls. According to the City of Waterfalls, "...it is located on Hamilton Conservation Authority lands, but the only way to reach it is to climb the steep hill to the left of Tiffany Falls and follow the creek upstream for 100 metres. This climb is very dangerous and should be attempted only by those who have proper hiking equipment." The fact that the waterfall is on HCA lands is confirmed on the Hamilton Conservation Authority website.
