Don't forget to go to all the three kilns and also the "hole in the wall". Gives a good adrenaline rush for a short time. The walk amongst the rocks is calling as well and when you reach up you see all the crevices that you can jump. Be careful there as we saw some hats, sun glasses etc at the bottom that once fallen there is no way getting them back. Some hidden spots that are just amazing for camping, but alas there is no camping allowed. (Video uploaded). One last plus for this location you don't pay any parking fees.

We visited the Great Falls during a waterfalls trip in the Hamilton area in fall 2013. The Great…read moreFalls is also known as the Grindstone Falls or the Waterdown Falls. It is located in the old Waterdown, Ontario that is now merged into City of Hamilton. It is a curtain fall that is 10m high and 5m wide. It is beautiful, powerful and breathtaking. To get to the Great Falls, go south on Mills Street North, go under a railway bridge, park at the Smokey Hollow Park on the right. You have arrived at the entrance of a hiking trail that leads to the Great Falls.

Hilton Falls is located in Milton and its nature trail does not disappoint!…read more It's very scenic and beautiful especially during Fall! One thing to note before going is that you do have to pay a fee during entry per person. It was $12+ tax per person. Went here during Fall on a Saturday evening at 4:00pm and despite being filled with people and parking was packed there was still plenty of space to walk. The main attraction, the falls, was pretty cool. You're able to see it up-close and take pictures. Overall, had a blast with my family.

The trails are all colour coded with easy, medium to hard and longer trails. It's clean and all the paths are clearly marked with lots of outlook points. So beautiful! Tip: Make reservations on parks.ca in 3 hours increments where parking is included in the fee. I like that you can make reservations so it's not too crowded. One of my fav hiking trails!

Part of Sixteen Mile Creek runs through the Lions Valley Park which has a lot of hiking trails that…read moreare really popular for the autumn leaves. There is a dedicated parking lot at Skyvalley Crescent but it can get busy as it's one of the only ones. The issue with parking is that the neighboring suburbs do not allow for street parking, so it makes parking a little difficult. There are a lot of well maintained and wide trails that people were using for a stroll, bikes (we did see some aggressive bikers so listen for bells), and jogging. Dogs are allowed here as well, as long as they are leashed. There are "non-official" trails that can take you down to the creek - these ones are narrower and not of the brush has been cleared away. To get really close to the water you kind of have to walk through these. There is a payoff during late September and early October as you can see the salmon run! They are a little hard to spot but just wait by areas where there is some rocky elevation in the creek. Those are the choke points where they're normally charging up to make a leap!

The park is in Oakville that kind of 1 hr from Toronto. The traffic today was not too bad, we followed GPS to a resident area that saying not able to access the park from there, we parked the car across the street, and walked along the trails. However, we walked about 30 mins, we got to a parking lot again that stating this one is the Lions Valley Parking Lot. That means the one we entered from was part of the park. But not the main entrance. Since we don't have too much time today, we couldn't finish the whole park visiting. If we can have a better sign to show the park from the difference entrance, that would be much better.

You walk back the same way you came to get back to that elevator which leads you back to the entrance/gift shop. Washrooms located accross the street.

Visitors are able to go down near the water and walk along a parallel boardwalk, which gives you an amazing view of the rushing whitewater. This attraction is also an excellent opportunity for photography. I was able to take a lot of beautiful photos, and the scenery made it easy to capture some memorable shots. The sound, movement, and force of the water made the experience feel peaceful and exciting at the same time. I also appreciated that it was self-guided and easy to navigate. You can move at your own pace, stop for pictures, and really take in the view without feeling rushed. Overall, I really enjoyed the White Water Walk. It is a simple but beautiful attraction, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Niagara Falls, especially if you enjoy nature, scenic views, and photography.

It's a short walk and it is very well marked, a quarter mile walk that I would call "easy" but it is absolutely not handicapped accessible. The falls are stunning. They cascade 17 meters (55 feet) in a low roar and if you are patient, you might manage to be here completely alone. Otherwise, there are people who don't understand how to behave in nature. Do a good deed today. If you have a trash bag in your car, bring it with you and I'll bet you can find a couple of pieces to pack out and dispose of properly.

I recently ventured off to Hamilton to check out Tiffany Falls & Sherman Falls. This waterfall is one of the most captured in the area and is stunning in person during winter. Make sure to wear appropriate gear like icers if you are going to check it out. I lost count of all the people that were slipping and sliding all over the place while there. Also I was surprised to see it being busy and highly suggest going when it is not. If you do go, be mindful of where you are walking. There were a lot of frozen patches that had water running underneath. All in all it was still an experience embracing winter and checking it out.
