Albion Falls was once seriously considered as a possible source of water for Hamilton. Rocks from the Albion Falls area were used in the construction of the Royal Botanical Gardens’ Rock Garden. In July 2009 a weekend rainstorm altered the gorge at Albion Falls. Entire sections were carved out of the, earth and the shifting of rocks in the 100 foot wide, forty feet deep space created a third ‘shelf’, making the waterfall more accessible than ever before.
