Webster Falls
(from: conservationha...)
Parking lot is at Greensville Optimist Park, off Highway 8
Your two-hour hike experience features a hike along a trail rich in history, as you approach Webster Falls, a 22-metre classical curtain waterfall that is one of Hamilton’s most iconic waterfalls. Travel across the beautifully restored cobblestone bridge that crosses Spencer Creek, to the accessible Dobson-McKee lookout that offers stunning views of the gorge and vistas.
Little Davis Falls
(from: www.cityofwate...)
Little Davis Creek is located downstream of Felker’s Falls but reaching it from Felker’s Falls is difficult. It is easier to take King St. East exit off the Red Hill Valley Parkway and follow King St. to Quigley Rd. Turn right onto Quigley Rd. and follow it to the end. Walk past the end of Quigley Rd. onto parkland, turn right and Little Davis Falls is there.
Albion Falls
(from: tourismhamilto...)
Albion Falls is a stepped jewel, classified as a cascade as it ripples over the Niagara Escarpment. It is almost as wide (18 metres) as it is tall (19 metres). It is visible from two viewing platforms, but there is currently no access to the bottom. Rocks from around the falls were used in the construction of Hamilton’s famous Rock Garden, a National Historic Site at Hamilton’s Royal Botanical Gardens.
Smokey Hollow Waterfall
(from: tourismhamilto...)
At 10 metres tall, this isn’t the area’s biggest waterfall, but this short and fast-flowing waterfall is surrounded by a great section of the Bruce Trail. It has a rugged footpath tracing its way up and down the ravine formed by Niagara Escarpment. Once used to power a local sawmill, the falls are now the centre of beautifully rehabilitated park land. A parking lot can be found just off Mill Street, not far from highway 5.
Dundas Peak & Tew Falls
(from: conservationha...)
Parking lot located at 581 Harvest Road, Dundas. Your two-hour hike experience will start at Tew Falls, which at 41 metres is just a few metres shorter than Niagara Falls. There are two platforms just off the trail that allow visitors to get a spectacular view of the falls and gorge. Continue on your hike along the Niagara Escarpment to the Dundas Peak, offering a stunning view of the escarpment and Dundas and Hamilton. A 1.8 km loop trail system allows for physical distancing on narrow trails.
