Passaic Falls (also known as the Paterson Great Falls) was perhaps the most unusually-situated waterfall we could recall given that it was smack in the middle of a lot of urban developments that…

The Watkins Glen Waterfalls were merely the excuse for me to visit the Watkins Glen itself, which was said to be the most scenic of all the glens in the Finger Lakes region of Western New York…

Websters Falls (or Webster’s Falls) could very well be the city of Hamilton’s most famous and most visited waterfall. And as you can see from the photo at the top of this page, it was totally…

Felkers Falls (or Felker’s Falls) was seemingly one of the more obscure waterfalls in the Hamilton area even though it was situated in a neighborhood of suburban developments. It was literally…

Tews Falls was a very attractive plunge waterfall dropping about 41m (said to be the tallest in Southern Ontario besides Niagara Falls). Although we’ve seen in the literature that this waterfall…

Borer’s Falls was the last waterfall that we visited before spending our final days in Canada in Toronto during our October 2013 visit to the waterfall-laced Hamilton region. My experience with…

DeCew Falls was a waterfall where we had quite a bit of trouble finding a way to get a good look at it. The photo you see at the top of this page came from inside the Morningstar Mill, which…

Albion Falls was probably one of the prettiest (if not THE prettiest) waterfalls we encountered while waterfalling in and around the City of Hamilton. Ever since someone contributed a photo of…

Our Balls Falls waterfalling experience could very well have been one of the most unusual and circumstantial experiences that we could remember. After having read the literature in preparation…

Devils Punchbowl Falls (or simply Devil’s Punchbowl) was probably the lone disappointing experience we had of the six waterfalls we visited in the Hamilton area during our October 2013 trip…

But already, I was feeling a bit uneasy when I saw wet rocks and muddy spots on the descent. A slip and fall here could potentially be fatal. Even with the ropes tied to trees here…

Medina Falls was kind of an obscure waterfall we took a brief detour for while driving from Albany to Niagara Falls. Perhaps what made this waterfall experience memorable was that Oak Orchard Creek…

…I attemped to cross above the rope. All it took was the first step and the slip of that step (without me losing my balance fortunately) to make me realize that the initial approach was too risky…

Rainbow Falls in Ausable Chasm was a powerful segmented waterfall with a reported height of 91ft. Prior to our visit, we were warned about the steep price of the paid tours and that we would be…

Kaaterskill Falls was an impressive two-tiered waterfall in the Catskill Mountains said to have a cumulative drop of about 260ft, where the upper drop was said to be 175ft. We were curious about…

The High Falls on the Chateaugay River drew us with its impressive three- or four-tiered 120ft drop as it progressively fanned out wider the further it dropped. Since we decided to drive from…

The Chutes de Plaisance (also known as Sault-de-la-Chaudiere; not to be confused with Les Chutes de la Chaudiere near Quebec City) was a wide and powerful series of cascades tumbling within a…

Hogs Back Falls (or Hog’s Back Falls; also called Prince of Wales Falls) was one of two waterfalls we visited within the municipality of Ottawa. This waterfall was pretty much an urban waterfall…

Rideau Falls was the other waterfall we visited while touring the capital city of Ottawa. What made this waterfall (actually a pair of waterfalls) stand out in our minds was the view of downtown…

Our Chutes de Sainte-Ursule experience contrasted our experiences of other waterfalls in the province of Quebec in many ways. For starters, it felt far less developed around this falls as the only…
