About Albion Falls Waterfall

Albion Falls is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the Hamilton Waterfall tour and one of the city’s most popular. The Red Hill Creek in the east of Hamilton's King’s Forest tumbles over rock that’s been formed over time into steps and shelves, fanning outwards into a beautiful cascade of rushing water.

Albion Falls History

Albion Falls was once seriously considered as a possible source of water for Hamilton. Rocks from the Albion Falls area were used in the construction of the Royal Botanical Gardens' Rock Garden.

The ravine at the Albion Falls has a legend of the Lover's Leap. The story is that early in the 19th century young Jane Riley, disappointed in love with Joseph Rousseau, stood at the top of a steep cliff not far from thundering Albion Falls and flung herself to the bottom 100 ft (30 m) below. The steep drop has since been dubbed "Lovers' Leap" and many tales have grown up about the suicide.

In the summer of 2017 a Toronto photographer was taking photos near a cliff at the upper trails, he slipped and fell to his death

After several rope rescues, accidents and the death of the photographer, the city of Hamilton has closed the lower access trails and lower falls.
