I was in the area with family in August a couple of years back…read more The trail was really short from the parking lot. The Falls was pretty though a little crowded and busy. There will be people climbing up to the middle level (the landing that sort of cuts the falls in half) and walking in the water. Be careful if you will be climbing or walking through the water. Also, there are giant rocks and logs to sit on. I feel like Sherman 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 Tiffany Falls within around 2 hours or so. The price not too bad for vehicle with at least 3 people. There's lots of parking nearby (compared at Tiffany Falls). If you visit in the afternoon, it's might be a little hard to find a spot.

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.

It's just pure zen to admire the view with a combination of boats, ducks, geese, and swan. You get there early enough and there's plentiful parking spots for your vehicle.

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!

It's not too bad for vehicle with at least 3 people. There's lots of parking nearby. Trails by Tews and Webster's Falls are pretty well maintained and quiet. They are pretty short so it's should good for anyone who doesn't like long hikes. Also, there are picnic benches if you are planning to bring food. I feel like they are somewhere you go in the spring or autumn. You would see the leaves being colors and more water flowing over the Falls.

The parking is rather spacious for a local park, which is a positive point. The other good thing about the park is the fenced unleashed dog park area.

Some things never change... And the downtown Hamilton YMCA is one of those timeless dumps. More…read morethan ten years later, this place is the same dilapidated sinkhole people call "a gym". The hallways make you feel like you're walking through a psychiatric ward and the locker room makes you feel like you were time-warped to the '90s. The lockers are small and rancid: imagine the smell of curry body odour and old man crotch straps. Barf! I was there for a run, but couldn't wait to escape! Menu - N/A Food - N/A Drink - N/A Hours - 5 stars: It's open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, even on holidays, that's pretty sweet, if you have absolutely nothing to do except go to the YMCA on a holiday. They open at 5:30 AM and close at 10:00 PM on weekdays, weekend and holiday hours vary. Not bad. Location - 5 stars: Not sure if the location actually gets 5 stars or 1. You're right in the heart of downtown Hamilton - ugh, a reaction that, for most people, would be a mix between spontaneous vomiting and a sense of nostalgia for "Old Hamilton". Wait Time - N/A Service - 4 stars: Thank god, the attendant who signed me up for the one day pass had decent manners. She was polite, sensible, and knew what she was doing. This is a rarity in a jungle of hill billy folks wandering the streets of downtown like "The Walking Dead". Venue/Vibe - 1 star: I did not feel safe! From the locker room to the gym, I was clutching my wallet for dear life - no kidding. You will see eyes dart over your valuables. Keep your wallet and phone near you and do not put them in your locker - it's not safe! Cleanliness - 1 star: If I could draw a picture representing the YMCA, it would be a toxic dump. From the lockers to the gym equipment to the hallways and rooms, it looks filthy. You would think that they would invest in renovating this place, guess not. Washrooms - 1 star: A birthplace for Hamilton cockroaches, the toilets and showers are also the perfect place to get your next plantar wart. If you have to pee - or heaven forgive, poop, you'll be sorry if you've got any relief here. Hold on tight. House Rules - N/A Cost - 3 stars: $11 for a one-day pass for the gym, including lockers, sauna, cardio equipment and weights. $1 extra for towels, but towels stunk even before using it - gross. I suppose you get what you get for a "poor man's" gym membership. X factor - 1 star: The only thing special about downtown Hamilton's YMCA is that it's a great place to get robbed when you go for a work out. Even if you dodge the thieves, try avoiding the ancient-dust-gathering gym equipment or landfill locker rooms. Downtown Hamilton YMCA, you need to clean up your act - big time. I came here for swimming classing in the '90s and came today for a workout in your gym; nothing has changed. Splash a coat of fresh paint, update your equipment, renovate your locker rooms; just invest in your gym! What are you doing with all those membership fees for the last two decades? For Yelpers, avoid this "gym" like your trashy ex; this place is a slimy disappointment and makes you wonder why you even considered coming here. Go elsewhere!
