The Devil's Punchbowl is a 121' ribbon waterfall in Hamilton which is accessible from the Bruce Trail. It is about 36' wide and in the summer, it is such a beautiful sight with all the colourful rock segments!
The Punchbowl has been around for approximately 450 million years. Wow! It is said to have formed a million years ago after one of the ice ages. Ice slabs covered the area and when it melted at the end of the ice age, the area was covered by high levels of water. The water streams moved so fast that it carved into the land and formed an area that looked like a bowl. So cool!
At the time that my friend and I visited this area, the waterfall was very weak and not much water flowed through the area. A guy who was taking pictures of the rock formations told us the best times to see this waterfall is after rainfall or when snow melts. He even told us some information about the area that we thought was interesting.
Parts of the movie Silent Hill, was filmed here and it is shown in the beginning of the movie when the character tries to jump off the cliff. I love to hear about movie facts!
