Springhill Falls Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Cache is located just off of Hwy 8 and is meant to be a quick find, however, the reason for placing the cache here was to draw attention to one of Hamilton's most overlooked waterfalls, Springhill Falls.
Parking is available on the shoulder when Hwy 8 bends going down the escarpment into Dundas. Parking is also available off of Hillcrest Avenue, however you will have to walk along this busy road to the cache so use caution. The waterfall is about 60m from the cache and I have created a waypoint for it.
Cache is a magnetic key box that contains only a log so please bring your writing instrument and replace as found.
Springhill Falls is a horsetail ribbon cascade. The water originates from surface runoff collecting into a swale or small depression on the Springhill property at the top of King St. (Hwy 8) in Greensville above Dundas and flowing over the Niagara Escarpment adjacent to the shoulder of Hwy 8. Its height is 5 metres (16 ft.) and its crest width is 1 metre (3 ft.).
Congratulations to Foam Follower on the FTF!
