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!

The path we walked was wide and clear, but the gravel was larger rocks. It was also SO hilly. Lot's of mountain bikers passed us which makes sense as I think this must be a popular biking spot. It was pretty hilly with large incline and decline - definitely a workout!

This review is specifically for Webster's Falls in autumn! First off, you actually have to make a…read morereservation to hike here. I did this through the Hamilton Conservation Authority website. There are time slots for each day of the week and you pay a fee for each person and vehicle, as well as a convenience charge. It's not the most accessible for all people but they do this to keep the numbers of hikers manageable. Note that they will actually check that you're on the reservation list. When we got there and parked, there was a security guard with a printed out copy of the guestlist. Later on when we were entering the main part of the hike, there was a little kiosk where we were asked for our reservation again. I'd recommend printing out your reservation and bringing it with you in case. The hike is super easy. A good portion of it is paved and there was almost always a stair option if you didn't want to chance a hill with roots. There are a few look out points for Webster's Falls. At this time of year, the falls are a lot smaller than some of the pictures you might see online due to the water levels. It's still a really pretty sight though if you go when the leaves are changing colours.

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.

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]

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.

Second, there was no actual office at all, only for staff. And this was only discovered after my fiancé walked the entire road down there from our campsite. Third, the food truck was extremely expensive, the food didn't taste very good at all, and the beach store was closed the whole time. Fourth, because we were next to the washrooms, we could hear the bathroom doors slamming closed all night long, and people talking, all past quiet hours. Fifth, the firewood they sell at the camp store doesn't burn at all and we could only start a fire by buying firestarters.. Lastly, there is no proper sidewalk for pedestrians to walk if you do not have a car or bike, so it felt very unsafe... The best part in all this was the camp store and the showers. Showers were close to the campsite walking distance which is really nice and the camp store was open great hours and had everything. All in all, I don't think we would be camping here again. It was nothing like we expected.
