Chasing waterfalls this summer? Then you have to check out Tiffany Falls, a magical lesser-known gem less than an hour from Toronto.
Located in Ancaster, Tiffany Falls Conservation Area is considered a “significant natural area” for its bedrock exposures, which are an Earth Science Area of Regional Significance.
From the parking lot, you’ll embark on a short trail that takes about 10 minutes to complete — unless you stop for photos of course, which you’ll definitely want to do!
This forested trail has a series of scenic bridges and gently flowing streams which you can even dip your toes into on a warm day.
Once you’ve meandered to the end of the nature path, you’ll be greeted by the majestic 21-metre cascade of Tiffany Falls.
A set of stairs will take you up to a small observation deck where you can enjoy the falls in all of their glory.
