This spectacular falls can be easily seen from above (with parking available within the Felkers Falls Conservation Area), or with a moderate to difficult hike along unmarked trails leading up from Lower Davis Falls. The Bruce Trail travels along the rim of the escarpment above the falls. The trail eventually leads down the escarpment, from where an unmarked trail can be followed several hundred meters to the base of the waterfall. The trail becomes difficult to follow as you approach the waterfall, and may require walking on the large stones along the sides of the creek.
The following information is from the City of Waterfalls website (

Felker’s Falls is located on a branch of the Red Hill Creek called Davis Creek. Its height is 22 metres (72 feet) and its crest width is 6 metres (20 feet). It is considered a Terraced Ribbon Falls, and experiences year-round flow.
History: The waterfall was formerly owned by Joseph Benjamin Felker (1880-1956), who was born and lived his entire life on the same property. Since Felker’s Falls is situated just off a subdivision, please show respect for private property.
