Borer's Falls, also known as Rock Chapel Falls, is a 15m waterfall on Borer's Creek near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The Falls are a hiking destination and also an ice-climbing destination in the winter when the weather is cold enough to freeze the Falls. Borer's Falls can be accessed from the Bruce Trail and also from the Borer's Falls Conservation Area.

Getting There

from Highway 403: Exit at Hwy 6 North. Travel on Hwy 6 North for 3 km and turn left on Hwy 5. Travel on Hwy 5 for about 2 km until you see Rock Chapel Rd. on your left. Turn left, travel to the mountain brow and look for Rock Chapel parking lot. Borer’s Falls is under the bridge on Rock Chapel Road. Follow the trail back 500 meters to the lookout.

I recently visited Borers falls, on January 27 - 2008.

It was a long, fun hike in with some great rock formations to see and explore as well as some great junk to pick through that was dumped in the gorge - old bundles of barbed wire, pots, pans, etc.

It was a tough hike in the dead of winter, but still the falls were amazing and it is worthy of going and seeing anytime.
