Waterfall Park and Hikes in Oakville

"Towering at 41 metres, Tews Falls is the tallest waterfall in Hamilton and stands only a few metres shorter than the beloved Niagara Falls. Located in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area on the Niagara Escarpment, the slender waterfall cascades down into the valley below and offers spectacular vistas that change with the seasons. Marvel at Tews Falls from one of the viewing platforms before embarking on an uphill forested hike towards Dundas Peak."

"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."

"The number 2 waterfall location on our list is the spectacular Tews Falls. Tews Falls is the highest of all the waterfalls in Hamilton and falls 135 feet (41 metres) into Logie’s Creek in Spencer’s Gorge. It is only a few metres shorter than Niagara Falls and offers spectacular vistas of the gorge."

"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."

"(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."

"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."

"Just down the road close to Chedoke Falls was another waterfall we set our to see: Cliffview Falls. After realizing (once again) that it would be hard to see this one from the road area, we parked in Cliffview Park. This was free to park and a great idea because we ended up having a short break here."

"Sunnybrook Park was once the country estate of Joseph Kilgour, a prominent businessman back in the 1800s. At the time, it was known as Sunnybrook Farm, a 175-acre property that featured country homes and horse stables. When Kilgour passed away, his wife Alice donated the property to the city with only one requirement, that it be turned into a public park."

Located north of Leaside and south of The Bridle Path, this foliage-full park has 25 different biking trails, an off-leash dog park and many different walking trails."

"Why You Need To Go: You'll find plenty of wide-open green spaces in this large Toronto park. It's a perfect picnic area, just watch those peak times!"

"Etobicoke’s own special little spot, 850 Degrees Pizzeria serves up homemade pizzas, featuring local ingredients, cooked in an authentic wood oven. There is nothing not to love about its pizzas. The dough is homemade using a 120-year-old recipe from southern Italy."

"This South Etobicoke pizzeria features an array of wood-fired pizzas made from locally sourced ingredients, and a cozy patio that's fully equipped with heaters and tents, plus they offer foil blankets for a small fee."

"Claimed to be the first eatery in the city to offer panzarottis, Valentino’s offers an incredible selection of Italian menu items from homemade mini arancini to shrimp & scallop linguine. Their pizzas are made with homemade dough and their panzarottis are some of the best you’ll ever have."
