waterfalls of hamilton

Hamilton has a plethora of water falls, all picturesque. Whether their frozen or running abundantly they are all great for the photographic mind.

With Hamilton being "sliced in two" by the Niagara escarpment, Hamilton is blessed with a multitude of waterfalls - large and small. They are everywhere. Some only appear in rainy seasons - some are a constant presence. For anyone interested in nature and/or hiking, and planning to visit Hamilton, it would be worthwhile researching the waterfalls on line to plan the best experience. One could spend a lifetime trying to find them all.

Hamilton has over 120 waterfalls......from Webster's Falls to the Devil's Punchbowl it's a fun and exciting adventure to explore.....I believe the City of Hamilton website lists all the waterfalls in the city -- some are in parks and you can have a picknick while others are view platform sights! Enjoy the falls of Hamilton!

I often say Hamilton is a terrible place to visit but a great place to live. The City does itself no favours at times but the trail system and scenery are great if you live there long enough to appreaciate them.

Just one of the many great waterfalls around Hamilton. very interesting to see it in a frozen condition.

April is my favourite month for hiking in to view the waterfalls. The flow volumes are at their best and the sights are awesome. With over a hundred waterfalls in the Hamilton area, we are blessed to have this natural resource. We have visited 20 or 30 including the larger waterfalls and my family cannot get enough. With some planning you can visit 4 or 5 in one day. It can be a one hour excursion or the entire day. Its your choice depending upon how many you want to see.

One of the very best things about visiting/ living close to Hamilton! There are so many to discover and tons of hiking trails. It's a great way to spend a day off!

there are so many to see and we are lucky to have so many in a close range. Albion is my fav. Stunning but be careful getting there. So many wonderful hiking trails in Hamilton.

I love the outdoors and since moving to Hamilton I was thrilled to learn that there are over 125 waterfalls and they are still counting! Despite many of them being somewhat underwhelming, on private property, or fenced in, it's always nice to explore unknown trails and woodlands regardless. Some of the falls are spectacular and most of them are not over-crowded with people. My four grandsons always love an outing with me to find a new waterfall.There are a number of good guide to help you find the various falls. Google's your friend...

Love the Hamilton waterfalls. Many nice attraction. most pretty easy to access. Albion Falls and Webster falls are two must sees. if you want a short and somewhat treacherous hike visit Felker's Falls but please wear mosquito repellent. It is damp and dank. The entrance to Felker's Falls is line with Mulberry trees and wild raspberry bushes and I take my kids at least once a year to eat all the mulberries they can pick and eat. :) Not one of the most popular. Rarely see people here. If it is a super hot day when you come out, there is a park with a small splash pad to run around in just a block away.For a nice good hike with some hills and mostly carved out paths, go to the Devil's punch Bowl. our family's favourite. you go in and feel like your not even in the city/town at all. beautiful scenery and nice water fallFees for parking at Devil's Punch bowl (only if you drive up to Ridge Road to look over but not if you park at Battlefield House in lower Stoney Creek, off Centennial Pkwy.)Des for parking at Webster FallsMore to explore!

Hamilton has the best waterfalls around, but a word to the wise - STAY ON THE PROVIDED TRAILS!!! My friend and I decided to climb down a little closer to one of the neighbouring waterfalls a little ways down from Tiffany's falls (maybe Sherman or Ancaster??) anyways... climbing down into the forest provided a great view! BUT unfortunately there was a hornet's nest in the ground where we were walking. We were lucky there was another hiker close by to help us, but my friend was stung upwards of 25 times! (She's okay, but it could have been much worse!). Better safe than sorry! Stay on the trails provided!

Recently spent a few days in Hamilton and accidentally came across a reivew of the city noting it has 127 waterfalls in the area. Went on a bit of an adventure to find a few and discovered Webster Falls and Tews Falls (near Dundas) as well as Tiffany Falls and Albion Falls (in Hamilton). Three of the hikes/walks I did were short and simple, so would be good to do with families. Only Albion Falls was somewhat steep to get to the bottom, and had to be careful as there are no rails, so would not recommend young ones or those with mobility challenges to go to the bottom; there is a lookout point right beside the road. Each waterfall is unique and beautiful in its own way, and makes for beautiful pictures. Being early December, the water is starting to ice over, so there are the beginnings of ice on nearby tree branches as well as icicles hanging on rocks. I enjoy nature and exploring, so this was a fun project to do. Should I go back to Hamilton, I hope to be able to locate more waterfalls. Who knows, maybe eventually will be able to visit each one. Note: though there is no fee to see the waterfalls, many parking places charge for parking the vehicle.

The Niagara Escarpment bisects the city of Hamilton and creates dozens of waterfalls. Some are large like Webster's Falls and others small like Chedoke Falls, some are fairly low like Sherman Falls and others higher than Niagara Falls like Tews Falls. The Bruce Trail winds by almost all of them and in many cases the City of Hamilton or the Hamilton Conservation Authority has parking lots close to them.They are great places to visit in the spring when the water is high, in the fall when the leaves are at full colour or in the fall where spectacular ice features are present and the ice climbers scale the frozen chutes.

The waterfalls of the Dundas Valley are plentiful, but each one is unique in its beauty. If you are looking for a relaxing afternoon with the sounds of running water, a quick hike will provide the serenity you are seeking. Favorites include; Webster's Falls and Sargent Falls. A great idea for some family bonding or just to get some exercise.

Ontario is blessed with hundreds of waterfalls. Hamilton, Ontario is the waterfall capital of the world. I think, we, in Hamilton boast 127 waterfalls. A must visit.
