Westcliffe Falls generally has year-round water flow except during extended dry periods. It has a height of 15m (49 ft.) and a crest width of 2m (7ft.) and is considered a Complex Ribbon Cascade type waterfall. During heavier flows, the waterfall widens out half way down, and then narrows again towards the bottom, giving the appearance of a diamond in the woods against the escarpment face

Westcliffe falls is one of four waterfalls contained in this cut in the escarpment, starting with lower westcliffe and lower cliffview falls at the parking lot of the chedoke golf course, you hike up some rather harsh terrain to access the two main waterfalls.

While the further cliffview falls was down to a trickle for my visits, westcliffe falls was much more impressive and picturesque

Just a short 5-10 minute hike from the golf course and you’ll hear the waterfall coming from the west, a short hike up and a careful climb down and you’ll forget you are in the middle of a city and feel like you are in your own tropical retreat.
