Best Nature and Wildlife Areas in Cambridge

You can park right in front of the viewpoint, then take a little walk around to see the pretty florals and greenery surrounding the park."

"Sam Lawrence Park holds beautiful views of Burlington Bay and city skyline. Around the premises there a variety of wildflowers, rocks paths, and gardens."

"(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."

"This blessed natural area contains two beautiful waterfalls: Webster's and Tews Falls. Webster's is a gorgeous tiered waterfall and Tews, which towers at 41 metres, is a rival to the grand Niagara Falls. Spellbinding views of the gorge await the awestruck visitor at the Spencer George Conservation Area."

"A post shared by Panini & Ice cream (@paninisicecream) on Jun 2, 2017 at 12:09pm PDT. It may have a simple name, but the creations inside are nothing short of masterpieces. People caught on to this not-so-hidden gem and as photos took over Instagram, word got out."

"Ice cream dates are a classic, because, let’s be real, who doesn’t love ice cream. They are a great bonding experience paired with a sweet treat. There is no better way to get to know each other than sit and talk while enjoying some frozen goodness."

"REALLY generous portions of icecream for a reasonable price can be found here. Lots of flavours and different kinds of sundaes/milkshakes to choose from...."

"Sherman Falls, otherwise known as Angel Falls and Fairy Falls, is a 17 metre high curtain waterfall that flows from the Ancaster Creek. It’s just off the Bruce Trail on private property, although the property owner allows the public to visit. This generous offer could be revoked at any time if people decide to misbehave, so be sure to leave this area free of litter."

"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."

"Sherman Falls is 55 feet (17 metres) high and flows year round into the Ancaster Creek tributary system. It is a quaint waterfall surrounded by trees. There is a wooden bridge in front of it that crosses the creek."

"It doesn't get much more iconic than Hamilton's Gore Park fountain. This centrepiece of downtown's Gore Park looks majestic from any angle and draws photographers day and night, year-round."
