The Darnley Grist Mill: Ontario Waterfalls

The Darnley Cascades, sometimes known as Stutts Falls, is located in the historical site of Crooks Hollow near Hamilton, and nearby is the ruins of the Darnley Grist Mill. Originally built in 1805 by James Crooks. In 1885 it was damaged by an explosion which killed two men but was repaired. In 1934 it was destroyed in a fire.

The Darnley Cascades behind the mill is located at Crooks Hollow Conservation Area.
