Webster Falls, Spencer Gorge Conservation Area, Ontario

March 2009

Webster Falls is situated in a small community called Greensville just outside of Hamilton and roughly a 45 minute drive from Toronto. It is part of the Niagara Escarpment which is a United Nations World Biospere Reserve. The Spencer Gorge is also home to a ribbon waterfall called Tews which at 41 metres is slightly lower than Niagara Falls.

 
After crossing a stone bridge which spans the river, this downward view of the falls can be seen from a viewing platform.
 
 
 
A series of steps leads to the base of the falls offering magnificient views
