Paid eight dollars to park and to walk along a road deceptive map never saw the falls. Water wasn’t flowing… couldn’t see from the top because of the vegetation growth.Full review by scotttimkim

There was no waterfall. It was bone dry May 2024. Cost $8 to park. Nice overlook though of the city. Has a large cross at the baseFull review by PMCFJZ
I parked here but could not find a way down to the falls. Near outlook there was a trail closed, I also walked the road down to the blue Bruce trail but no trail found. Suggestions or a map?

First, for a view, you need water and on a dry day lots of rock to look at. Second, parking cost an issue, if you park back one concession (on the road) at the path crossing, it’s free, and what locals do. Third: For my limited perspective, it’s boring rail line walk, that combines road ways and viewpoints kilometres and kilometres away from the Devil’s Punchbowl. Possible bias with the rail line pathways (Grand Trunk Trail, Riverwalkway) which are both beautiful and bucolic vistas adding some stunning nature activities which include Bald Eagle hunting, ALL within blocks for our domicile. I struggle with the path when compared to our hiking/walking spots. Hamilton for example is the water falls capital of the world BUT I feel local recommendations may be needed to surpass our feelings as a major drive for a minor walk.
