Wahoosh Falls is a simple little waterfall right in the middle of Mississauga. It’s tucked away behind a busy city street, down a small road and in a ravine, driving by you wouldn’t even know it was there. 

Wahoosh Falls is classified as a small cascade waterfall. It’s about 10 feet tall, and it’s wider than it is tall. Wahoosh Falls flows all year long and doesn’t dry up during any season. 

Located on a wooded stretch of Mullets creek, just upstream of Burnhamthorpe Rd, most waterfalls don’t get much easier than this one!

Reginald Watkins bought 150 acres of land in 1928 north of the now abandoned Erindale Power Dam. He tore down one house on the property and enlarged the other which was named Lislehurst. In 1965 The University of Toronto bought the property and founded Erindale College which is now called University of Toronto Mississauga. 

The section of park backs onto the university campus and contains the remains of an old out building at the crest of the hill overlooking the ravine. It appears that a series of trial excavation holes have been dug to investigate the ruins.

As you walk up Mullet Creek toward Mississauga Road you come to several shelves of shale where the water cascades over the edge, this is Wahoosh Falls.

At one time a parkette stood at the corner of the creek and Mississauga Road. The remains of the old parking area are starting to grow over but the old rail ties that outline the side and protect the trees in the middle will be around for many years to come.
