Buttermilk Falls

Submitted by Day Trips Canada on Mon, 05/19/2008 - 01:34

The flow of water over the falls for much of the year is either non-existent or a trickle, so it is best viewed during spring thaw or after a heavy rainfall.  Located near Albion Falls by Oak Knoll Park, Buttermilk Falls is a just short walk away.  From Oak Knolls Park, visitors can view the Buttermilk Falls Gorge.  Buttermilk Falls is a narrow waterfall entering a deep gorge. Visitors to the falls are also offered a beautiful view of the  Valley. 

Looking out over the valley, one can only imagine what the flow of water once must have been to carve out the large gorge.  The original gorge was carved by glacial meltwaters around 10,000 years ago and over the years, the stream was reduced to a thin ribbon of water. Settlement in the area has further reduced the water flow to an intermittent stream.

Follow the Albion Falls directions to its exit on Mud Street/Mountain Brow Boulevard.  Continue along Mountain Brow Boulevard.  Oak Knoll Park is located just past Limeridge Road East on the right.
