Best viewed from the bottom. Bring your climbing shoes. It can be muddy. This is my favourite terraced waterfall.

The falls are worth the hike, absolutely stunning. But be careful getting there. The hill is very steep with a lot of broken glass. Wear good shoes.

Whether viewed from the top at the viewing platform off the downstream side parking lot or from the bottom- accessed by going down a somewhat steep -but good for any hiker trail, the reward is a substantial waterfall with a lot of neat rocks to walk around at the base. Get some great photos of the crashing waters at this most accessible waterfalls. A good sampling of the hundreds of other- some more dramatic and more of a hike- waterfalls that plummet over the Niagara Escarpment in the Hamilton area...definitely worth a stop on your way by...

There's nothing wrong with Albion Falls. In it's natural state, it would have been lovely but, unfortunately, a major traffic artery runs right over top of it and, although there is access by foot trails to get down to the bottom, there tends to be too much activity and, therefore, too much garbage. In other words, this place would be beautiful if it were left alone. Check out Tiffany Falls or Websters Falls for more attractive scenery.

Very nice spot for photographers, hikers and nature lovers. The access to the falls has been closed due to deteriorating walkway so the desent is dangerous. There is a nice overlook in the parking lot at the top of the hill which is great for pictures and even a picnic in nice weather. There are nice nature trails just around the bend that you can hike all the way to the beach strip. I use the trails on a daily basis to walk the dogs. Very safe and lovely creek bed for a quick puppy swim.

And that's saying something given how many there are to choose from. Not only is this a very pretty waterfall but it's also easily accessible from the road. The falls descend what resembles a giant staircase of rock and are also quite wide providing lots of whitewater. You can get a good view from the adjacent parking lot but if you're adventures you can climb down a short (but steep) rock ledge to the base of the falls. The surrounding cliffs also contain some unusually coloured burgundy and blue/grey bands.

On a warm Thanksgiving Saturday I hiked the the Mountain Brow Side Trail from Oak Knoll Park parking lot all the way around the loop to catch Albion Falls at the end of the hike. It was a perfect 3 hours ( with breaks to enjoy the views) which included escarpment top vistas of Hamilton and the lake, including the CN tower of Toronto, a winding path down to the Red Hill Creek, cross the creek bridge, and take the wide path up along to top of the gorge to a marvellous view of Albion Falls. I did have to take the lesser path towards the right to come to the falls. Just follow the edge of the gorge.I hope Trip Advisor allows this website because it is very helpful. Waterfalls dot Hamilton dot ca.http://www.waterfalls.hamilton.ca/default.asp?walk=1On this page is a map in PDF. I recommend doing the hike the opposite direction as suggested on the web page to enjoy the Hamilton skyline first and the falls last. From this direction you come upon them at the best angle. Look for the blue or white markers.The Mohawk Hockey arena just west if the parking lot is a good location for a bethroom break before hitting the trail.

You can start at Albion Falls and walk all the way around on a trail to Buttermilk Falls and back again. This is a very safe trail area however be sure to watch children as there have been several accidents in recent months where people have gone too close to the edge and fallen over. If you stick to the trails there will be no issues. There are lots of great viewing areas so there is no need to risk falling by getting close to the edge to take a photo because if you just walk a little further you'll find a spot that is safer and will provide just as good a shot.

These falls were a rewarding experience after the disappointing visit to the dry place that was meqant to be Devil's Punch Bowl Falls. Albion Falls were full of power and looked spectacular.Some downsides: not the best marked landmark, the access to the best view of the falls is not easy and well marked too. We found the signs to the biking trail but no marked path towards the falls from the trail side. So we just followd the paths others have made down the slope, climbing from stone to stone at some places. It may have been not the official way to go but it wasn't closed or protected from walking in any way. The official overlook place was on the other side of the falls and could be reached by walking on the side of the road, making a curve at that very place- not the safiest way to walk.The lack of marking/designated paths or guarding railings may also be a cause of another not so pleasant experience. When we came to the foot of the falls there were 2 girls walking on the rocks in the middle of the falls! Sunbathing, taking there time to pose and take pictures in the water, then dry in the sun, without leaving the falls. For us, it was a frustration of not being able to take a beautiful picture but it also is not safe to walk on those wet rocks I assume. I think something should be done to improve the situation of this beautiful landmark.

Just off the parking lot, cross the street and go down an unpaved (and not too clearly indicated) trail. The sound of the water guide you, and you'll quickly get to a break in the trees with a view of the falls below. The hike is not long at all, and you can continue further by climbing down somewhat steep but sturdy rocks to get right at the waterfall. Once i got down, there were a ton of other visitors in the water, walking on the many ledges of the falls, and taking pictures. It certainly was impressive and pretty big . Just be careful climbing back up, its not for those who have a difficult time with their mobility.
