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

"The third highest waterfall in Hamilton, Devil’s Punchbowl definitely makes our list of the best waterfalls in Hamilton. While the waterfall is impressive (see the picture below!), the water doesn’t always flow year round. (Some years it dries up before the fall, other years it’s still flowing.) Also lending to the impressive sight is the colourful layers of rock in the Niagara Escarpment."

"Devil’s Punchbowl Conservation Area consists of an incredible geologic wonder, the gorge, and its waterfalls. The Devil’s Punch Bowl formed at the end of the last ice age when huge meltwater rivers plunged over the escarpment. There are many colourful layers of rocks in the gorge, such as Cabot Head grey shale, Queenston Formation red shale, shale dolomite and limestone."

"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."

"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."

"Other noteable waterfalls nearby: Tiffany Falls, Washboard Falls, Canterbury Falls. Nearby trails: Bruce Trail (Some access across private property is restricted), Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail, Heritage Trail. Sherman Falls is one of my favourite falls."

"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"

"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."

"You'd need to travel a long way beyond Hamilton to find a cascade waterfall as beautiful as this one. Safety concerns have reduced access to the foot of the falls, but the viewing platforms sill make for excellent photo opportunities of this natural wonder. The photo ops are endless at Tiffany Falls."

"At 62 feet (19 metres) Albion Falls is one of the most majestic waterfalls in Hamilton thanks to the steep cliff face and tree coverage. The large boulders on the bottom add to its majesty. In summer many people used to visit the waterfalls and bask in the sun on the boulders."

"Filled with underground caves and streams, meadows and forests, the Eramosa Karst is one of the watershed’s unique natural gems. Eramosa Karst is located in the south western section of Stoney Creek area of Hamilton. A perfect location for hiking, nature..."

"(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."

"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."

"Previously used as a quarry, Kerncliff Park is now reserved for nature and recreation. The park has various paths, boardwalks, rocky structures, and other natural areas to take amazing photos!. 2198 Kerns Rd, Burlington"

The patio of the historic British pub—the building dates back to the early 1800s—maintains the watering hole’s English country atmosphere with greenery and stonework. It’s tucked well behind the street, which means you can focus on your companions."

"Breakfast crowds indicate it’s worth the wait on weekends (try the Real Hungry for a taste of everything) and lunch and dinner options are hearty and home-cooked. Kids 10 and under always eat free on Mondays and Tuesdays with an entree purchase. Must-try: Comfort food specials like lasagna night on Mondays and stir fry night on Wednesdays are popular here."

"A staple for over 40 years, The Village is a popular place to go for breakfast in Stoney Creek. For $5.25, you can get two eggs, homefries and toast—but put in a little extra cash and the options are endless. While not $5, their famous “Real Hungry” includes a taste of everything."
