Felker's Falls is a 22 metre high ribbon style waterfall found at the Felker's Falls Conservation Area, a small park within a subdivision in Stoney Creek in East Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.[1] The Bruce Trail passes by the top of the falls and from there you get a clear view of lower Stoney Creek and Lake Ontario.[2]

Nearby attractions include the Bruce Trail, Little Davis Falls, Battlefield House Museum. Felker's Falls Conservation Area is a small park that lies between the Devil's Punch Bowl (east) and King's Forest Golf Course and Park (west).[3] This area is also much more accessible now that the trail has been paved.
