Swayze Falls

  • More Information

Swayze Falls is located in Short Hills Provincial Park near St Catharines. At fifty feet high, the waterfall is dry for most of the year, and can also be known as “Dry Falls”, with just a trickle of water running down into the gorge. However, in early spring or after heavy rains, visitors will be treated to the waterfall in all its glory. Swayze Falls in the wintertime is also a must-see, with the waterfall freezing over leading to a spectacular view.

For easiest access to Swayze Falls, park at the Roland Road entrance and follow the Paleozoic Trail. A platform is provided to allow the easiest and best views of the waterfall.

WARNING: Please be careful when exploring the waterfall. The drop into the gorge is steep. Therefore take care when viewing the falls from above or stick to the viewing platform. If exploring the falls from below, be aware that it may be slippery and wet. A fall may result in serious injury or death.
