Ball's FallsBy John HartigBall's Falls is actually two Falls, Lower Ball's Falls and Upper Ball's Falls. The Lower Falls has an old barn, a white pioneer church and a pioneer cabin for the photographer's interest...and of course, there's the cascading Lower Ball's Falls itself, just a 5 minute walk from the parking lot. Upper Ball's Falls is a little 15 or 20 minute hike uphill along a trail of woods. It's worth the exercise to see the rushing water...and to take a photograph of one of Niagara's hidden wonders. Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority maintains the picnic areas and grounds at Ball's Falls where tourists can get pictures of old historical buildings and antique farm machinery. Ball's Falls Photos are best during Niagara's autumn and winter season. The Bruce Trail threads through Ball's Falls and hiking along any of the wooded paths in this area is a marvelous experience in any season. (I especially love autumn). I'm fortunate enough to live in Vineland (only a 10 minute drive to Ball's Falls). Through the past few years, I've given in to the urge to grab my camera and get my latest shots of the trees, colours and cascading waters at Ball's Falls. The nature hike in itself is a great experience but, as a photographer, I also cherish the visual evidence of all the beauty that I see there. I love to capture that in my camera and that indeed is highly salutary for the soul. I invite you to take a trip with me through my photo gallery: Ball's Falls Tour.
