Looking For The Best Hamilton Waterfalls? Us, Too – Here’s Our Experience!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that Hamilton, Ontario is considered the “waterfall capital of the world”? Yeah, seriously. Even without Conde Nast<\/a> writing about it, urban area with over 100 waterfalls and a network of hiking trails is one of Ontario’s most unique places to discover<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this unique landscape, we can thank the Niagara Escarpment. It is home to some wonders like Albion Falls (among others) – and you get to experience them all, if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We really liked this visit to Hamilton to find waterfalls. We’d been to “The Hammer” before plenty of times, but never with the intent to chase waterfalls. And we weren’t necessarily looking for the best waterfalls in Hamilton – just a memorable day hiking and exploring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we soon realized that we would basically have to make up our own Hamilton Falls itinerary. So we researched the area, tied our hiking shoes, hopped in the car, and off we went. This guide is our exact experience exploring the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also include need-to-know tips for other things to see like Conservation Areas as well as parking fees, locations, visitor tips, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Hamilton Waterfall Itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are visiting to hike part of the famed Bruce Trail, exploring the city itself, or you’re coming for those waterfalls and views, there’s plenty of natural beauty to be seen in and around Hamilton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city makes a great Ontario weekend trip<\/a> with plenty to see, eat, and do. As for those waterfalls, here is our itinerary from the day we explored the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, we moved east to west around the city making stops along the way. Our first stop in the morning was the Devil’s Punchbowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Devil’s Punchbowl was neat to see because of the size of it.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The first stop on our list on the day we explored the waterfalls was the Devil’s Punchbowl. This is a more popular one located to the east of downtown Hamilton – technically speaking it’s in Stoney Creek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legend has it that they used to push cars into the basin “back in the day” – but that’s another generation talking.<\/p>\n\n\n
