When it comes to waterfalls, go big or go home – and Tews Falls does just that.

This ribbon waterfall is 41 metres in height, making it the tallest in Hamilton. Over the frigid winter, water from Logie's Creek pooled at the bottom of the falls, creating a spectacular sheer cliff of ice.

You can find Tews Falls in the Spencer Gorge/Webster's Falls Conservation Area in Greensville, just off Harvest Road.

Much of the present gorge was carved out by the body of water that preceded Spencer Creek, about 10,000 years ago.

The rock layers are deposits of mud and other substances from the floors of the ancient seas that once covered parts of this continent.

Even fossilized remains of sea plants and animals have been found in rocks in the area.
