Westcliffe Falls is a Complex Ribbon Cascade with water flowing year round. It is located on a Chedoke tributary and has a height of 18 metres (60 feet) and a crest width of 1.8 metres (6 feet).

On the poster "Waterfalls of Hamilton Seasons" (2002), this waterfall was referred to as "Waterfall West of Cliffview Park" because it did not have a proper name yet. Two years later (2004) the name of Westcliffe Falls was assigned by the Hamilton Conservation Authority.
