A magnificent tiered waterfall is one of two in an Ontario region

Did you know that nestled along Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe are two beautiful waterfalls, one of which is almost as high as Niagara Falls? Spencer Gorge Conservation Area is home to these geological formations and so much more. Here’s what you need to know about this spectacular natural area.

Just a short drive away from Toronto is Spencer Gorge Conservation Area, part of the Hamilton Conservation Authority. If you’re a sucker for beautiful sights and natural landscapes, then you’d love to make the day trip and see the falls for yourself.

As previously mentioned, there are two stunning waterfalls – Webster Falls and Tew Falls.

According to the group, Webster is described as a “magnificent tiered waterfall,” while Tew is recognized for its height. It stands tall at 41 metres, which, per the conservation authority, is only “a few metres shorter than Niagara Falls.”

Besides the waterfalls, there are several other activities to do at Spencer Gorge, including hiking on its many trails, bird watching, and geocaching. It’s essential to note that any individual wishing to place a cache on HCA lands must obtain a permit.

Now, if you’re already planning your visit, reservations are not required. The parking lots in the area are on a first-come, first-served basis.

There are two accessible parking spaces, located in the Webster Falls parking lot at 28 Fallsview Rd.

Fees

There’s a per-vehicle and driver charge of $16.50. There is also a per-passenger fee of $5.50 if you’re over the age of five, and those who walk in or bike must pay an entry fee of $5.50.

This is the perfect season to go out and explore your province before it gets too hot.
