The Eramosa Karst is a provincially significant Earth Science Area of Natural and Scientific Interest in Ontario, Canada, located in Stoney Creek, a constituent community of the City of Hamilton, and immediately south of the Niagara Escarpment.[1]
It exhibits sixteen different karstic geological features, of which seven are provincially significant,[2] and is considered to be the best example of karst topography found in Ontario.[3] The area is composed of parcels of land that are provincially, municipally and privately owned. It received ANSI-ES designation on February 13, 2003.[1]
