This waterfall is named after Billy Green, a scout in the Battle of Stoney Creek during the Canada-USA War of 1812.

The easiest way to see this waterfall is to park on the shoulder of Centennial Parkway and walk in 100 metres or so. This is the best access point for photographing the Falls, as you will be at the bottom.

For another option, park at the end of Glover Mountain Road and follow the Bruce Trail in - on the way passing Glover Falls and Centennial Falls. You will be at the top of the Falls taking this route. There is NO SAFE METHOD to go from top to bottom nearby so choose your approach (or drive around to the other option when you are finished).

You can also see the Devil's Punchbowl in the area. This illustrates why Hamilton is also known as the "City of Waterfalls"
