Waterfall Park and Hikes in Guelph

"It’s part of the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area, and it’s one main point of interest while hiking to the Dundas Peak. Tews Falls is the tallest waterfall in Hamilton at 41 metres (134 feet). To put it into perspective, the Horseshoe Falls of Niagara Falls stands at 51 metres high, and the American Falls is 36.5 metres at its highest point."

"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."

"Probably one of the most popular and most recognizable waterfalls in Hamilton, Webster’s Falls is part of the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area. Access to the bottom of Webster’s Falls is no longer permitted, but the waterfall can be viewed from a lookout platform, which is wheelchair accessible. There are other viewpoints along the trail, but the trail is not wheelchair or stroller friendly."

"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."

"This classic plunge-style waterfall is a must-visit on any trip to the Spencer Gorge area. While it's only 22 metres tall, the ability to hike above Spencer Creek and the falls offers one of the most beautiful vistas in all of Hamilton."

"(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."

"Borer’s Falls is a 49 foot (15 metre) waterfall that runs into Borer’s Creek which is a tributary that feeds the west pond of Cootes Paradise. It’s surrounded by lush, green trees and vegetation in the summer months and has a tremendous flow during the wetter months. It usually runs year round but can slow to just a trickle during drier times."

"Borer’s Falls, also known as Rock Chapel Falls, is a 15 metre (49 foot) high curtain waterfall, and its source is the Borer’s Creek. This waterfall used to power the Rock Chapel Village Sawmill. The sawmill was owned and operated by the Borer family, which is how the waterfall and creek got their names."

"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."

"If you’re looking for a casual place to take the family out for breakfast, brunch or lunch, this is it. The menu is classic and affordable, and the restaurant prides itself on being a place “where people can share with one another and everyone has a place at the table.” The most unique part of it all?. This restaurant is actually a non-profit cafe that allows patrons to “pay-it-forward” in order to help those who need assistance paying for a good meal."

"541 is a hip spot in Hamilton located along Barton St where you can grab a yummy bite to eat or a coffee to go!. But the truly unique aspect of this cafe is that it's run fully by volunteers!. While you're there, you can donate money to purchase buttons, which people in need of food or coffee can use to grab a bite to eat."

"Chef & owner Tony Chiarot has been serving authentic Italian food for 30 years and it shows in his dishes. Not only is the food amazing, the prices are very fair."

"When it comes to the perfect location in Hamilton for a craft brewery, MERIT nailed it. Another newcomer within the past year, this brewery is located right at James and Wilson across from the August 8 plaza. This one’s for the real craft beer nerds as they are constantly experimenting with their brews and do little to appeal to the casual beer fan."

"Merit Brewing first opened in May, 2017 and was founded by Tej Sandhu, Aaron Spinney, and Jesse Vallins. Tej and Aaron met in Hamilton while attending school. After their careers had them living apart the duo decided the time was right to create the brewery they dreamed of years ago."

"A successful Kickstarter campaign helped kick off brewing operations in this old ice rink in downtown Dundas. The result is a spacious tasting room with gorgeous soaring ceilings and large tables for gathering and sipping. Of note is their award-winning Barrelshed series – beers aged in wine barrels to give them a unique character."

"68 Victoria Avenue North J. C. Beemer Park has a play structure and swings, running track, wading pool, and spray pad. It is joined with the former Tweedsmuir Public School site."

"Valens Conservation Area has camping (225 campsites) and cabins to rent. Spend the day fishing in the reservoir for native species like Northern pike and smallmouth bass, or take a refreshing swim in the lake. Explore 10 kilometres of trails, a 300-metre wetland boardwalk (an ideal setting for taking photos), or climb the observation tower."
