Ontario's Niagara Escarpment is internationally recognized and provides perfect geological conditions for waterfalls to occur. These waterfalls range from Tobermory to Niagara Falls. In Hamilton it has been known to be the Waterfall Capital of the World with over one hundred waterfalls minutes from the center of downtown. More than 100 waterfalls have been identified within its boundaries, so Hamilton could well be known as the "City of Waterfalls".
Hamilton is believed to have the highest number of waterfalls of any urban area of its size. Hamilton is less than one-hour from Toronto and Niagara Falls, and is the place for any waterfall adventure.
Most of the waterfalls in Hamilton are situated on the Niagara escarpment in and along the Bruce Trail and does require anywhere from minimal walking to a long distance hike to access them.
