Nature
Devil's Punch Bowl is a ribbon waterfall on the Niagara Escarpment in Stoney Creek, now part of Hamilton, Ontario, valued as both a scenic lookout and a geologically important site. Its exposed rock layers were formed about 450 million years ago in an inland sea, preserving fossils, while the bowl-shaped gorge was carved much later by glacial meltwater during the ice ages. Connected to local trails, the area is a popular hiking stop and a well-known study site for geology students. Nearby are Lower Punch Bowl Falls and a 10-metre cross installed in 1966, and the site has also appeared in film and television.
