I was in the area with family in August a couple of years back. The trail was really short from the parking lot. The Falls was pretty though a little crowded and busy. There will be people walking in the water. Be careful if you are walking through the water. Also, there are giant rocks and logs to sit on. I feel like Tiffany Falls is somewhere you go in the autumn. You would see the leaves being colors. There's a small fee enter (around $11/vehicle). It's done through a park kisok. You can use the same parking ticket at Sherman Falls within around 2 hours or so. The price not too bad for vehicle with at least 3 people. The parking area is really small. If you visit in the afternoon, you are going to wait a bit or park at Sherman Falls and walk (around 20 min) to Tiffany Falls. There isn't really a closer relatively larger parking lot. read more

A bit more of a hike compared to Sherman Falls but still quite easy and definitely not handicapped accessible. There is a parking area out front and it is paid parking. I don't know how well enforced it is, but feel free to give your parking receipt to someone else when you leave. $8 seems a lot for a waterfall! I was here in July so nothing frozen and no fall colors but still magnificent. a 21 meter (64 foot) cascade roars away. The path through the woods is very well marked and easy to follow up it's clear that some folks think it's okay to wander off the path. I stuck to the route and the observation platform. Partly because I'm a rule follow and partly because I'm the clumsy sort that would fall and hurt myself. Leave only footprints, take only photos. And if you can pick up some of the litter that others have left behind, you're a rockstar! [Review 1460 of 2024 - 138 in Ontario - 22483 overall] read more

If you're looking to get out of the city for a short hike with the family, Tiffany Falls is not a bad option. It's not too strenuous, so kids and seniors could also participate. We went from Sherman Falls to Tiffany Falls. The walk is only about 20 minutes along the Bruce Trail. Both Waterfalls look similar though they're so close, so you might as well check both out. If you go during a long weekend as I did, expect more people. More challenging to take a photo without people in your way. There's an upper deck with a better vantage point to take a picture with the waterfall in the background. If you don't mind getting your shoes wet, step in front of the falls for your optimal pic. read more

This year I am heading out to places I normally travel to during other seasons. As much as I like recharging inside, I find doing mini getaways just as refreshing. 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. read more

Tiffany Falls is gorgeous. Recently I brought some guests here wanting to see waterfalls because its a short hike 5-10 minute hike in with a big payoff. There is a small parking lot off the side of the road for about 15 cars or so. There's also a viewing platform when you get closer with a few steps to walk up. Another time I came people had hiked over to the waterfall itself, there's a lovely creek running through as you cross a couple bridges along the way. Terrain wise - be prepared with the correct shoes. Even though there is a somewhat clear path it's still quite rocky and can be slick in cold / snowy weather. I couldn't believe the difference a few days made between my two recent visits. I was shocked and delighted to see all the icicles that had formed with just a little snow on the ground. Stunning! read more

This was my second time visiting Tiffany Falls but the first time we couldn't find parking so we never actually got to the falls. We got lucky this time, with cars coming and going from the small parking area. There is a small fee for parking here, with passes available for purchase from a machine. While we were there, we saw two city(?) employees checking that everybody had paid. A few tickets were issued. Since it was a flat rate to park, most people were handing their parking passes along to newcomers as they left. I wasn't so lucky but the person that took my spot was. The walk to the falls was pleasant, with lots to see along the well defined path. It takes about ten minutes along the water's edge to get there. The fall colours made it a very beautiful and relaxing walk, with frequent stops along the way to take pictures. There was a sturdy wooden viewing platform near the falls. It's a good safe place to shoot pictures from. The more adventurous visitors can walk right up to the falls along the sides or even up the middle on rocks and outcroppings. It's constantly damp so some care is required to go this route. The view of the cascading falls was gorgeous! It was enhanced by the colours of the fall leaves on the ground and drifting into the valley from the surrounding hills. Although there were lots of people around, it was peaceful. There were a couple of moments with no people, allowing me to get a couple of good shots. The people in the shots, however, allow you to see the scale and intimacy of the falls. Beautiful! There were a few photographers here today, some shooting portraits and some shooting the falls, along with everybody else shooting happy snaps with their cell phones. I don't think there were any visitors here who didn't shoot at least one picture. The place is gorgeous! If you're planning to visit, bring your camera and a pair of waterproof shoes (just in case). Use a slow shutter speed to show the smooth flow of the water. If you don't have a tripod, the railing from the viewing platform is sturdy enough and in a good position to get a great shot from. There are lots more waterfalls to explore in and around Hamilton. I'll be back... read more

Came here during the past winter! There wasn't much snow or ice as it was a mild winter, so it was an easy hike to the waterfall which is about 5 minutes and slightly up hill. Once you get near the waterfall, there is a little elevated observation deck which is nice so you can get a bit closer without having to get too close to the water. In addition, the elevated deck makes it easy to take nice pictures. The waterfall itself is pretty tall and isn't super wide, it's cool to see the rock formations around it and just listen and hear the water fall. It's bigger and taller in person than in pictures! There is a really small parking lot, so it was nice coming in the winter because there wasn't really anybody here at all. Tip: the ticket machine wasn't accepting our cards and we didn't have cash, so we called the park authorities (phone number on the machine) and they said it was fine and to leave a note if possible. read more

Tiffany Falls - Hiking Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

A great place for a short hike through the forest to admire the small falls at the end of it. It's always maintained well and has a cool wooden bridge over a small stream. Parking is in a small kiosk paid lot off the road. This trail is safe for pets and young children. read more

Tiffany Falls is one of the smaller falls in Hamilton. In addition, it's a one way in and same way out with Tiffany Falls being at the end of the mini trail. It probably takes about five minutes to get from the waterfall to the parking lot. The rock formation that you see on the sides of Tiffany Falls is honestly amazing because the layers are so distinct and show the length in time that was spent for these rocks to be formed. I came here with my class taking a course on rocks and I understand why we came here. I really recommend going to a Waterfalls trip on Hamilton because you will need to pay for parking for some of them, but once you buy the parking, it works for all of the waterfall parks in Hamilton. read more

As someone else has mentioned here, its only a 5 minute walk to the falls, a gorgeous trail but a short walk. The falls were also beautiful but not worth the $7 parking for how long you're there. We were there for 30 mins max and we paid for 1 hour. read more

We visited Tiffany Falls during a waterfall trip to the Hamilton area in fall 2013. Tiffany Falls is a beautiful ribbon fall (i.e. the height is greater than width) located along the Niagara Escarpment in Ancaster. It is 18m high, 7m wide. It is located along Wilson Street East. The fall is beautiful as you can see in the picture. The fall forms a creek at the bottom, and the creek flows along a hiking trail. This is one scenic hike. The fall is easy to get to: go north on Wilson Street East and drive along the Niagara Escarpment, on the right there is a *small* sign that says Tiffany Falls. Turn into the parking lot and park. You have arrived at the entrance of a short hiking trail that leads to the fall. We visited in late fall, so the water power seems powerful but not scary; though I would never know, I thought it would be wonderful to stand under it. read more

The place is alright. There is a very small parking lot outside at the entrance where you have to pay. People might also be kind enough to give you their parking valet to save you 2 bucks. The trail is very short. The falls is not as impressive as the other ones nearby. read more

Another beautiful falls in the Hamilton area. It was close to Sherman Falls and would take around 20mins to hike to each of those falls using the trail. I loved that it was free admission, serene, and stunning. You can also get closer to the falls if you choose without having to worry as much for your safety. Just wear proper footwear and make sure the rocks you're stepping on to get around isn't loose. Parking is $2 per hour. and easy to find. The falls were just around a 5 min hike way from the parking lot. read more

A very quick and easy trail for those looking to brag to their friends about having hiked to a waterfall, but wanting to put in minimal effort. It's a straight stone/gravel trail right to the waterfall, with two sight-seeing platforms along the way. It'll probably take you five minutes to walk from the parking lot to the falls. Didn't really see any place you could have a picnic or anything of the sort. The waterfall itself was quite beautiful; not a huge one by any means, but definitely worthy of a few pictures. The novelty started to wear off after we saw the tenth person soak themselves as they ran across the bottom of the falls. We tried to find a trail that would lead us to the top of Tiffany Falls, but ended up on Bruce Trails instead, which I believe is an adjacent trail that just led us further and further away from the waterfall. So if anyone knows how to get to the top, holla back! All in all, I think you'd probably spend at most half an hour here, unless you felt like hiking down Bruce Trail too. read more

Tiffany Falls - Hiking Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

Went: Sat Jun 13, 2015, 1 p.m. (87/100) I was in the St. Catherines area and hiked many places between Hamilton and Toronto and thought it would be nice to see some waterfalls that were on the way home. Tiffany Falls was the first. Unfortunately, my gf has been to all three falls that I showed her, but we still had a really good time. There are parking meters near the entrance to this waterfall. We parked nearby at some Gardening shop. I'm sure they didn't mind. We got up pretty close to the falls and it is quite impressive. Even in June, there was ice in hidden corners that did not melt yet. If you carefully (cars are zooming by) cross the street to the north, there is a nice hiking path. There will be an intersection, but stay to the left. If you continue on the trail, you'll come out of an area on Old Dundas Road facing south. Lion's Club Road is to the right (west). If you head straight south, you'll be at Sherman Falls. There is no yelp listing for Sherman Falls so I'll review it here. The falls are easy to get to and close to the entrance. It is quite impressive and has a pyramid like appearance to it. Since Tiffany and Sherman are so close together, you should definitely do both. There are other falls in the area and I've been to hikes where we see five of them, but to be honest these two are the main stars of the bunch. To conclude, both Tiffany and Sherman Falls are easy to access, beautiful, picturesque, great for taking pictures, romantic, and great for couples. read more
