Icy Waterfalls
Amanda H.

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!

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...

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.

Tiffany Falls

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.

Tiffany Falls

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.

Review Highlights - Tiffany Falls

A bit more of a hike compared to Sherman Falls but still quite easy and definitely not handicapped accessible.

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.

Sixteen Mile Creek - Salmon run! Can you spot the fish on the left?

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!

Further up, there's a lot of green space surrounding it - including the famous Glen Abbey golf club. There's also several trails in the area between Upper Middle and Dundas which are a great escape into nature. I'd long ago noticed some beautiful cliffs when passing over it on the Dundas st bridge, and it's really worth seeing in person.

There was a short trail for hiking but I wouldn't recommend coming here for hiking. We still managed to get some fall colours in our photos which was nice. Remember to book your reservations online. We paid $35 which was a bit pricey but the fees cover admission to Christie Lake as well which would costs $25 for the 3 of us. We just went to Christie Lake a few weeks ago and didn't know about this deal. It's only about 7 mins drive to Christie Lake so we decided to go there for our picnic lunch after our walk at Spencer Gorge.

Highly recommend to visit all seasons but the most interesting though would have been during the Fall when the leaves changing colour. And when it is cooler, it is more relaxing to do the hike then in extreme summer heat. You have the option visit the 2 falls: Webster's Falls and Tews Falls by hiking through the trail or if you pressed for time or with limit mobility, you can just drive to both by car. If you do want to visit Dundas Peak then the only option is to park your car at Tews Falls and just walk there. I just love to listen to the sound of water and the view is enjoyable. A great mini hike next time if you are in the area!

Bronte Creek Provincial Park - Near the paddock

Bronte Creek is one of the two provincial parks in the GTA. There is an entrance fee, so I would…read moresuggest getting the Ontario Parks pass from your local library to enter and to park for free. This is a nice park with lots of hiking trails and lush woods, offering plenty of shades on a sunny day. The only trail that allows you to go down to the creek is #6 Half Moon Valley Trail. I would also recommend #4 Lookout Ravine Trail which is almost completely covered by trees and would be beautiful in the fall. You shouldn't miss the famous White Oak Tree, likely germinated since 1685 and at least 300 years old, close to parking lot A. The Spruce Lane Farmhouse is another highlight near parking lot F, which is a Victorian-style house showing visitors what life was like back then. The antique furniture, well-decorated rooms, farm equipment, and friendly volunteers wearing Victorian costumes gave us an immersive experience at the farm. The only problem is that the amenities are a bit dated, especially with the signage. The park staffs should hand out free maps as you enter the park, and there should be more directions as to where you are. I often had to rely on Google to check location and the pre-downloaded map from their website. The swimming pool remains under renovation as of summer 2024, so the park is not yet at its full potential.

The trails are clean, managed and you can see the arborist do a good job maintaining the overall trail. It's a really nice scenic escape from city life; I can see ski and bike trails. There is even a mini farm. There are some really nice vantage points where you can see the water and treeline, so it might be nice to return in the fall. Definitely returning here :)
