Ball's Falls

Ball’s Falls Conservation Area, nestled in the picturesque Twenty Valley of Lincoln, Ontario, showcases breathtaking scenery and natural beauty. The LEED Gold certified Ball’s Falls Centre for Conservation serves as the starting point for visitors, offering interactive exhibits showcasing the area’s history, nature, and culture. The site features historic buildings from the early to mid-19th century, including the original Ball family home, an operational flour mill, a lime kiln, a church, and more, meticulously preserved to maintain its industrial hamlet ambiance.

Designated as a heritage property by the Town of Lincoln, Ball's Falls holds historical significance from its days of providing flour during the War of 1812 to its evolution as a tourism hub. The conservation area provides a stunning view of the Twenty Mile Creek cascading over upper and lower falls, with the landscape changing dramatically with the seasons. Visitors can enjoy hiking along the Cataract Trail beside the creek, with access to the Bruce Trail, and explore the unique geological features of the Niagara Escarpment.

Ball's Falls is an ideal setting for special events, including weddings, held in the lovingly restored Ball’s Falls Historical Church and historic barn. The annual Thanksgiving Festival is a highlight, featuring artisans from Ontario and beyond. The site encourages responsible enjoyment of its natural beauty through programs, photography permits, and the opportunity to explore the Niagara Peninsula's unique geology as part of the Niagara Peninsula Aspiring Global Geopark.
