The Beamer Memorial Conservation Area in Grimsby offers some spectacular waterfalls for you to enjoy and creates some perfect photo opportunities. One of these waterfalls is the 20ft Lower Falls. It is also the perfect place to go hawk watching in the spring, due to the strong updrafts of warmer air of the escarpment. It is famous for its migration of raptors.
The Lower Beamer Falls which is along the Forty Mile Creek Valley, is 20 ft high and 10-40 feet wide and takes a ramp and plunge formation in a natural setting. It can be viewed by following the trail from the parking lot into the woods, down into the escarpment and walk upstream.
Caution: There are no hand-rails around the side of the gorge therefore you must be careful. The gorge has a steep drop and therefore an accidental fall could result in a serious injury or death. The area around the falls may be slippery and wet therefore take care when walking around.
Open Year-Round 8:00 am - 8:00 pm
