Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Guelph

"How does a picnic in Canada’s largest botanical gardens sound?. Lay out your blanket or find a bench at one of several breathtaking gardens. Picture yourself picnicking next to the world’s largest lilac collection or in a nationally recognized Rock Garden."

"With forest hikes and nature trails as well as exhibits on spiders, dinosaurs and even Santa Claus, RBG is a delight for the senses."

"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."

"(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."

"Perched on the Burlington Waterfront, LaSalle Park offers and a variety of picturesque areas including the waterfront area, marina, trails, and open green space. The park is also home to a historic pavilion which is now used as a wedding venue!. 50 North Shore Blvd L, Burlington"

"This 90 year-old local staple is the very definition of a classic. Grilling up some of the city’s best hotdogs in their original vintage digs since 1930, Easterbrook’s has been enjoyed time and time again by countless Hamiltonians for generations. Though known for their sizeable menu of legendary footlong hotdogs dressed in a wide variety of toppings, Easterbrook’s doesn’t stop there; they’ve also got homemade burgers, fries, and ice cream perfect for a summer picnic in the park."

"Built in 1933, the Cathedral of Christ King is quite popular amongst the locals. It is decorated with stain glass windows that give the whole place a spiritual incandescence. The marble altar and the organ are two noteworthy features of the interior."
