Tiffany Falls Conservation Area is a protected area in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada managed by the Hamilton Conservation Authority.[1] It has the 69 ft high Tiffany Falls which is a cascade waterfall formed by Tiffany Creek. The falls were named after Dr. Oliver Tiffany, the region's first physician, who practiced from 1796 until his death in 1835.[2] The forest has tree species such as eastern hemlock, sugar maple, red oak, American beech, and Fraxinus americana.[3]

Ice climbing occurs at the falls during specific winter conditions.[4]
