Visiting Hamilton's waterfalls across the city is a must-do during any visit. Hamilton is home to more than 100 waterfalls tucked behind the trails of the Niagara Escarpment that cuts through the city.
Bonus: They’re all found minutes from the downtown core.
*Given popularity of these waterfalls, consider planning your visit during off-peak times (early morning or weekdays) and do not park on roadways if parking lots are full.
*Waterfall flow is seasonal and affected by rainfall.
