Smokey Hollow Falls is in Waterdown where Grindstone Creek flows over the Niagara Escarpment. This waterfall is also known as Great Falls and Grindstone Falls. I have decided to call it Smokey Hollow Falls because other falls are named "Great" and "Grindstone", and "Great" seems a bit of an exaggeration.
To reach Smokey Hollow Falls exit the 403 at Hwy 6 and head north west. Turn right onto Hwy 5, and then turn right on Mill Street. The park is on the right as you descend the escarpment. There is a viewing platform. If you follow the Bruce Trail down stream you can easily get into the gorge and to the base of the falls.
Grindstone Creek appears to have a lot more water than many of the other waterfall producing creeks in the area.
