Waterfall Park and Hikes in Cambridge

"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."

"Deciding the day was growing long, we decided to just head for another one of the most popular waterfalls in the entire area: Tiffany Falls. We once again headed west (for what would be the final time) and it was a bit of a drive from the last few waterfall locations. Located in Tiffany Falls Conservation Area, the entrance to the parking lot comes up fast as you drive up or down Wilson Street East."

"Tiffany Falls is one of the best waterfalls in Hamilton that you need to add to your bucket list. Much like Webster’s Falls, it is a 21 metre (72 foot) high waterfall, although it’s a ribbon waterfall like Tews Falls. To visit Tiffany Falls, head to a small parking lot off Wilson Street in Ancaster, Ontario."

"Hiking to Tiffany Falls is as easy as it gets when it comes to waterfall hikes in Hamilton. It’s a short and easy walk from the parking lot, which gets filled up pretty quickly. Don’t try to make up your own parking spots, unless you want a pesky ticket on your dashboard when you get back!"

"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."

"Albion Falls is one of the most popular waterfalls in Hamilton. It’s an impressive waterfall, with water flowing year round. Unfortunately as it’s become more popular, access has been restricted (for safety concerns) and it is no longer possible to access the falls from the bottom."

"After visiting Webster Falls, the tallest ribbon waterfall in Hamilton is just minutes away. At the height of 41 metres, Tew Falls is at the beginning of a hike towards the Dundas Peak, famed for its beautiful valley views. Pay for parking once at Christie Lake Conservation Area for Webster Falls and take the same shuttle to visit Tew Falls."

"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."

"A trek to see the waterfalls in Hamilton would be incomplete without Webster’s Falls. Standing at 22 metres tall in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area, the classic plunge-style waterfall boasts one of the most beautiful vistas in the entire region. An easy walk takes you through some beautiful green space before you’re introduced to the rushing creek that plunges down over the edge and crashes into Spencer Creek."

"Other noteable waterfalls nearby: Darnley cascade, Borer’s Falls. Nearby trails: Bruce Trail (Some access across private property is restricted). If you’re looking for a great two-for-one, Websters Falls and Tews Falls aren’t too far apart."

"This classic plunge-style waterfall is a must-visit on any trip to the Spencer Gorge area. While it's only 22 metres tall, the ability to hike above Spencer Creek and the falls offers one of the most beautiful vistas in all of Hamilton."

"RIght in the heart of the city, i’ve brought many people that were born and raised in hamilton here for the first time.You can enter via the walking trail at the end of dundurn street, go towards the golf course down the trail and you’llsee a a hiking trail to your left that goes up the side of the escarpment and follow the stream all the way up."

"While there are over 150 waterfalls in Hamilton, here are the best Hamilton waterfalls you need to see that I’ll be covering in some detail in this blog post:"

"(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."

"Borer’s Falls is a 49 foot (15 metre) waterfall that runs into Borer’s Creek which is a tributary that feeds the west pond of Cootes Paradise. It’s surrounded by lush, green trees and vegetation in the summer months and has a tremendous flow during the wetter months. It usually runs year round but can slow to just a trickle during drier times."

"Borer’s Falls, also known as Rock Chapel Falls, is a 15 metre (49 foot) high curtain waterfall, and its source is the Borer’s Creek. This waterfall used to power the Rock Chapel Village Sawmill. The sawmill was owned and operated by the Borer family, which is how the waterfall and creek got their names."

"As with Albion Falls, there is no access to the falls from below, however Buttermilk Falls can be seen from the Bruce Trail. To reach Buttermilk Falls, park at Oak Knoll Park and walk a short distance along the Bruce Trail side trail (there is a map at the edge of the parking lot). Alternatively, Buttermilk Falls is only a short walk from Albion Falls, along either a paved trail that follows the road or along the Bruce Trail side trail (which has amazing views of the Red Hill Valley).Type: RibbonHeight: 23 metres (75 feet)Cost: Free"

"Buttermilk Falls could be considered a hidden gem but it’s far from hidden as it sits under a bridge on Mountain Brow Blvd near Limeridge Rd on the East mountain. It is more correct to say it is just overshadowed by the more popular Albion Falls which is less than 1 minute up the road by car. Buttermilk Falls is approximately 75 feet high (23 metres) and runs almost year round."

"Continuing to head west, we had to make a stop for one of the most popular waterfalls in the whole area: Albion Falls. Honestly, it did not disappoint. This massive waterfall (seen from a distance if you park where we did) is made up of many little “steps” and layers so the water cascades down and down into the pool below."

"Coming in at number one on our list is the Art Gallery of Hamilton (AGH). Founded in 1914, the AGH is the oldest and largest art museum in Southern Ontario with a permanent collection. The AGH is recognized as one of the finest art galleries in Canada."

The Nathaniel Hughson Art Gallery on John Street North is dedicated to representing contemporary artists in their early and mid careers. Located in the heart of downtown Hamilton we encourage you to stop in anytime to experience some of the best in Canadian contemporary art."

"Located inside Banko Media, the Nathaniel Hughson Art Gallery is a beautiful place for beautiful pieces of art. The gallery itself is an ode to the old building’s beauty; the walls are composed of exposed brick and stone, and the ceiling showcases the original wooden beams. The Nathaniel Hughson Art Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting contemporary artists early on into their careers."

"Crumbuns is best in class across pretty much every category: inventiveness, variety, quality, service, and value. You can’t go wrong with one of their namesake crumbuns (like coffee cake, but good), empire cookies, or pizza rolls, but their home run is the mini cheesecakes. A rotating mix, they all have an incredible crust, sweet cheesecake base, and unique flavours."

"This has to be the best Chinese food in Hamilton, we are never disappointed with the food here. Only downside is that they are so popular they get extremely busy and service can be slow. if you call ahead of your needs (allow an hour for your order to be ready) then this is the place to go!"
