Initially, Hamilton residents themselves do not know that their city has so many waterfalls. Only a handful becomes a place of recreation for local residents. In 2008, Chris Ecklund founded the non-profit organization City of Waterfalls aimed at introducing the city's natural treasures.
Unfortunately, not a few waterfalls in Hamilton are dry along with the increasing population and development in the city.
