Waterfall Park and Hikes in Burlington

"This conservation area contains two separate falls, Upper and Lower Punch Bowl Falls. The Lower Falls is a 5.5-metre classical waterfall, and the main Upper Falls is a 33.8-metre ribbon waterfall. The Devil’s Punch Bowl is one of the Niagara Escarpment’s most amazing..."

"One of Niagara Escarpment’s beautiful sites has two waterfalls, the lower falls and the upper falls. It’s called The Devil’s Punchbowl. The Silurian rock is also found here, and if you’re taking the trail through Stoney Creek, you would have to start at this location."

"If not one but two waterfalls weren’t enough, the multi-coloured rock layers at Devil’s Punchbowl provide great examples of cool geological formations. Great views for miles around from the lookout!. Parking is $5 per vehicle."

"You'll have to do a bit of a hike from the parking lot to get to this tiered waterfall, but it's totally worth it. Not only is it scenic, but the falls are sublime. Descending from a height of 17 metres, the flowing curtain peeks out of the woods as you approach alongside Ancaster Creek."

"Sherman Falls is actually located on private property but is open for the public to view. The water flows year round and is spectacular to see in the winter when the falls freeze over. The waterfall can be seen from the road, but is more impressive when you walk closer."

"If there is one thing Hamilton is known for it's waterfalls - and man, do they look amazing in pictures!. Sherman falls is one of the few falls that is easily accessible and that doesn't require a permit for photography. 789 Artaban Rd #711, Dundas"

"Tiffany falls is number 5 on the list because of sheer elegance. It’s a very pretty waterfall that can be accessed from Wilson Street in Ancaster. It is 68 feet (21 metres) high and is another waterfall that takes just minutes to walk to from the road for a quick burst of nature during a stressful day to help you unwind."

"Tiffany Falls is one of the best waterfalls in Hamilton that you need to add to your bucket list. Much like Webster’s Falls, it is a 21 metre (72 foot) high waterfall, although it’s a ribbon waterfall like Tews Falls. To visit Tiffany Falls, head to a small parking lot off Wilson Street in Ancaster, Ontario."

"Hiking to Tiffany Falls is as easy as it gets when it comes to waterfall hikes in Hamilton. It’s a short and easy walk from the parking lot, which gets filled up pretty quickly. Don’t try to make up your own parking spots, unless you want a pesky ticket on your dashboard when you get back!"

"Albion Falls is easily one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Hamilton, rippling over the Niagara Escarpment in Red Hill Valley. This incredible cascade waterfall you won’t soon forget stands 18 metres wide and 19 metres tall with the water tumbling over rock that’s transformed into steps and shelves over time. Although there’s no access to the bottom, Albion Falls is visible from two viewing platforms, so you can admire the gorgeous waterfall while being surrounded by lush greenery."

"Albion Falls is one of the most popular waterfalls in Hamilton. It’s an impressive waterfall, with water flowing year round. Unfortunately as it’s become more popular, access has been restricted (for safety concerns) and it is no longer possible to access the falls from the bottom."

"Where is it: East Hamilton, where the Redhill Valley Expressway meets the Linc. Other noteable waterfalls nearby: Buttermilk Falls, Cave falls, Pritchard Falls. Nearby trails: Chippawa Trail & the Redhill Valley Trail"

"Towering at 41 metres, Tews Falls is the tallest waterfall in Hamilton and stands only a few metres shorter than the beloved Niagara Falls. Located in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area on the Niagara Escarpment, the slender waterfall cascades down into the valley below and offers spectacular vistas that change with the seasons. Marvel at Tews Falls from one of the viewing platforms before embarking on an uphill forested hike towards Dundas Peak."

"Note: Spencer Gorge—which includes Webster Falls, Tew Falls and Dundas Peak—will remain closed until September 2020 due to COVID-19. Webster’s Falls is not the tallest, but is the largest falls around, and is super, super pretty!. The scenery is enhanced by the bridge over Spencer’s Creek right before the cascade of water."

"Best to visit Tews in the spring; it can dry up in the summer months. Tews Falls is located near Dundurn and it’s also near Hermitage Ruins and the Hamilton Farmer’s Market."

"One of the most famous waterfalls in the Dundas area, the curtain waterfall flows over tiered rock formations with beautiful panoramas. For the best view, visit during fall when the leaves start changing. To get to Webster Falls, park at Christie Lake Conservation Area and take the free shuttle (parking is $10 per vehicle PLUS $5 per passenger)."

"The number 3 waterfall on our list is the second of two waterfalls that makes its home in Dundas’ Spencer’s Gorge. At 72 feet (22 metres) Webster’s Falls is far from the tallest but it is of incredible beauty. The creek meanders and flows over the edge before crashing into Spencer Creek."

"Other noteable waterfalls nearby: Darnley cascade, Borer’s Falls. Nearby trails: Bruce Trail (Some access across private property is restricted). If you’re looking for a great two-for-one, Websters Falls and Tews Falls aren’t too far apart."

"Of the more than 100 waterfalls known to be located on the Niagara Escarpment, many of the most picturesque can be found within the city limits of Hamilton. The most popular of these is the spectacular Albion Falls, also known as "lover's leap." Standing nearly 20 meters tall, this cascade falls is located where the fast flowing Red Hill Creek flows over the escarpment, along the way passing over a number of downward steps that add significantly to the appeal. Some of the best views can be had from King's Forest Park."

"RIght in the heart of the city, i’ve brought many people that were born and raised in hamilton here for the first time.You can enter via the walking trail at the end of dundurn street, go towards the golf course down the trail and you’llsee a a hiking trail to your left that goes up the side of the escarpment and follow the stream all the way up."

"While there are over 150 waterfalls in Hamilton, here are the best Hamilton waterfalls you need to see that I’ll be covering in some detail in this blog post:"

"(Or maybe it only seems like a hidden gem because we’re from the other end of the city?) Either way, it’s a waterfall that’s not to be missed!. Located in Waterdown, it’s an impressive waterfall, whether you view it from the lookout platform, or take the trail down and view the waterfall from below. The path continues along the creek for awhile and is part of the Bruce Trail."

"And I’m not picking favourites here, but I’ve saved one of the best for last. The Smokey Hollow Waterfall is one of most easily accessible Hamilton waterfalls. Technically, this waterfall is in the town of Waterdown, between Dundas and Burlington."

"We love the fast-moving waterfall at Smokey Hollow for lots of reasons. It makes for great photos, has a convenient viewing platform, and is surrounded by the Bruce Trail. Parking is on Mill Street, not far from Highway 5 in Waterdown."

"Just down the road close to Chedoke Falls was another waterfall we set our to see: Cliffview Falls. After realizing (once again) that it would be hard to see this one from the road area, we parked in Cliffview Park. This was free to park and a great idea because we ended up having a short break here."

"As with Albion Falls, there is no access to the falls from below, however Buttermilk Falls can be seen from the Bruce Trail. To reach Buttermilk Falls, park at Oak Knoll Park and walk a short distance along the Bruce Trail side trail (there is a map at the edge of the parking lot). Alternatively, Buttermilk Falls is only a short walk from Albion Falls, along either a paved trail that follows the road or along the Bruce Trail side trail (which has amazing views of the Red Hill Valley).Type: RibbonHeight: 23 metres (75 feet)Cost: Free"

"Buttermilk Falls could be considered a hidden gem but it’s far from hidden as it sits under a bridge on Mountain Brow Blvd near Limeridge Rd on the East mountain. It is more correct to say it is just overshadowed by the more popular Albion Falls which is less than 1 minute up the road by car. Buttermilk Falls is approximately 75 feet high (23 metres) and runs almost year round."

"Between old school spots like Grandad’s Donuts and the more elevated fare at Donut Monster, Hamilton has no shortage of excellent options for the doughy, sweet snack. Even still, the city is about to get another exciting and singular addition with the forthcoming Momoco Donuts: a sister spot to the beloved Asian bakery MySweeTooth. Momoco Donuts will be opening soon at 2 Catharine Street North between King Street East and King William Street, and it promises to mix things up a bit with a selection of freshly-baked Asian fusion donuts crafted in unique flavours and styles like matcha or strawberry glazed."
