Ghost town waterfall

Ball's Falls is located in Ball's Mills, formerly Glen Elgin, a historical ghost town located in what is now a part of Jordan in the Niagara region, southern Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1783 by Jacob Ball, a Loyalist refugee from the American Revolution, the town fell on hard times when the railway relocated and the mill closed in the 1850s. The waterfall on Twenty Mile Creek, mill ruins and preserved townsite now are maintained as a conservation area operated by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority.

 

In the spring, the waterfall is a raging torrent flowing over the top of the Niagara escarpment shale, but the low water level when I visited in October, I think, makes the scene considerably more tranquil.
