White Water Walk offers a first-hand lesson in the raw power and peril of the Niagara River’s Class 6 whitewater rapids, some of the wildest in North America. The roar of the river provides a deceptive calmness, the perfect ambiance for your walk among the many platforms that offer incredible views. The sight on this quarter-mile boardwalk will take your breath away!

As part of this self-guided experience, enjoy stories about the geology of the Niagara Gorge and the plant and animal life you may see on your visit to Niagara Parks.

Travel by elevator down 70 metres to reach the base of the Niagara Gorge and impressive quarter-mile of boardwalk that runs along the shoreline of the Niagara River. Prepare to be immediately immersed in the soothing roar of North America’s largest series of standing waves the moment you step out from the exit tunnel!

Make your way down the riverside boardwalk as you take in the crashing waves and enjoy an excellent view of the 410-million-year-old rock layers of the Niagara Gorge.

Branching off from the boardwalk are several viewing platforms that allow you to get even closer to the breathtaking Whirlpool Rapids flowing by at a speed of 48 km/hr. These platforms provide some of the best photo opportunities in the entire park

Sherman falls is one of the hidden gems in Hamilton!!

You can enter Sherman Falls at Upper Lions Club Road at Old Dundas Road. Walk up the East side of Ancaster Creek to Sherman Falls.This waterfall is just steps away from the Bruce Trail of the Dundas Valley. ❤️

The waterfall was all dead when I went in summer... But it gives the opportunity to hike around the falls... However I have not been there in any other season which gives me the opportunity to come back to you all with the waterfall update lol

Definitely bring some water and of course wear hiking shoes.

Parking is available in Pelham Rd right infront of the trail ❤️

Rockway hiking trail is part of Bruce trail....There are many informal trails throughout the area, but hikers be aware as some of these trials lead to dead ends! The Rockway Conservation Area is located along the 15 Mile Creek near the City of St. Catharines. This 126 hectare (312 acre) site protects a portion of the Niagara Escarpment, the Rockway Falls, and the diverse flora and fauna of the Carolinian Forest. The Bruce Trail traverses the southern section of this area and is considered an ideal spot for hiking. Two main waterfalls exist along this portion of the 15 mile creek.

The larger of the two plunges from a height of 19.5 (63 ft) metres while the smaller from a height of 12.2 metres. The watercourse continues to surge over a series of rapids. Some interesting flora can be witnessed at this location, for example, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Witch Hazel, and Sycamore to name a few. The existence of a salt spring brings some historical significance to the area as it is thought to have been used as far back as 1792, containing some of the best quality and quantity of salt in the province. Site facilities include limited parking off 9 th Ave. on escarpment tablelands.

As promised a quick view of the winter look of upper falls... The water stream is lot crazier than summer time... But it's amazing to sit closer to the water and enjoy the water flow in a sunny winter day!!!

It is an easy 20 minute walk through woods from the lower falls to the upper falls. You can view the falls fr different angles either going down the hike to see the view from the bottom...as very easy hike down or just from the peak to see the waterflow. You can get down into the gorge at the base of the falls without too much trouble.

It's a bit tricky hike down to the lower falls.... It's steep but there are stairs which you can take to go down and little bit of walk by the river to go closer to the falls!!
Lower falls looks magnificent during winter time..such a nice hike during anytime of the year as it has its own beauty and colors in every different season

As you continue your adventure, you will discover that Ball’s Falls has been lovingly maintained to its early mid 19th century industrial hamlet atmosphere featuring the original Ball family home, an operating flour mill, a lime kiln, a church, black smith shop, carriage shed, and more.

The village is closer to the lower falls!! It is one of the many waterfalls found on the Niagara Escarpment. Its definitely good to check on the water levels before going out to see this waterfall. Ball's Falls is the winner of my "Most Improved Waterfall of 2003" award. When the water is high, this is probably the second most impressive waterfall on the Niagara escarpment, being beat out only by Niagara Falls.

01/29/2021

Few things to know about when going to balls falls-

Parking is $8. They have a designated parking area so please don't park in middle of no where ... Won't recommend!!

There is two falls one is upper and one is down!!

It's a historical area of balls family!!!

I am just showing the upper falls over here.... Will post about the lower falls... And the mill and family house is located close to the lower falls ❤️

01/29/2021

The waterfall in summer time is pretty dead... Which is beautiful in its own way and gives the opportunity to explore further.... U can go super close to the water... EVEN can take a shower 🤫.... So make sure u bring ur bathing cloths to enjoy some time with mother nature ❤️

If you are too shy to do that then I can climb up to the waterfall and actually can sit and enjoy the look from birdsview or just sit under the water fall like me and enjoy the water flow ❤️❤️

01/29/2021

Peace!!

It feels like so hard to get but we never realize it lives within us!!

For me peace is going closer to mother nature, explore the trees around me the beautiful water streams and waterfalls, walk down a trail to unknown but naturally so beautiful that it will make u forget the busy stressful noisy life we have now a days around!!

It's a picture from balls falls at Lincoln from 2020 June. I will be sharing a picture from January to show u the beauty of summer and winter hiking ❤️

This pandemic has been crazy!!
Everyone has been trying to stay away from each other or away from everywhere!!

Airports has been crazy No go zone and poor aeroplanes are scary to travel in!!

I had to take a flight to Saskatoon for an emergency call!! 1st time getting into a plane after the pandemic started has been quite bit of experience!!

Bought a very basic ticket where even no luggage was allowed only carry on... So I was expecting close to nothing for service!!

However really surprised me with their amazing service!!!

I was welcomed to the plane with a small welcome pouch which contained hand sanitizer, an earphone, two different kinds of snacks, mask, water and complimentary drinks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

How sweet is that only a 3 hours journey can give u such a nice experience!!

Everything was clean in the airplane... The service was great...

If you walk to the end of the trail it is part of Bruce Trail.... So from there.... There is a better and safe way to go down to go closer to the water.... It's very pretty right before sunset... But walking back to the waterfall needs a good walk back by following the river so better to go early!!

I didn't have enough time n shoes were not right so I didn't go that day!!

Once if open ups I will take you guys on a journey to the falls trail ❤️❤️

12/12/2020

DECEW falls is one of the prettiest fall in St Catharines area....

The hike is beautiful and the place has a great history too...

However going down to the falls in not very easy or there has not been a proper hiking trail to go down...

So thrilled hikers usually take the risk and goes down with a life risk...

There is rope hanging somewhere from the middle from where usually people will go down but people try to get down from anywhere ...

Which end up in rescue mission and due to covid it became very hard for the firefighters team...

So it has been s**t down for months now and which is breaking my heart...

Let's try to stay safe and travel smartly!!

The trail route is hidden from the main highway.

So once you out in Gps keep ur eyes Sharpe as the hidden drive away comes all of a sudden and after driving by the narrow road you will reach the parking area.

$6 a day !!

A lot to explore so totally worth it to go and have some time in hand!

A beautiful place to explore and learn history

The paths winds among the ruins of the 'Corran', a late 1800's mansion. From a spectacular view at the top of the escarpment, a spiral staircase circles down to the shore of Georgian Bay.More trails atop the escarpment lead you through fields and forests, with connecting links to the Bruce Trail. The trail is ungroomed in winter. The area is known for it's ruins, it's Indian legends and its excellent viewpoint on Colpoy's Bay.

There are two short loops which will take you to the ruins of the McNeill Estate while a section of the Bruce trail takes you to the short spur that leads to the Spirit Rock Lookout. A spiral stair case takes you down the escarpment to the Georgian Bay shoreline. The Conservation Area is just north of Wairton on the east side of Route 6 at the base of the peninsula. The Conservation Area provides access to the Bruce Trail.

Spirit Rock Conservation Area draws people from a far for its local history, legends and remarkable view of Colpoy's Bay. Encompassing 87 hectares, the site features the historical "Corran" the home of Alexander McNeill, a Federal member of Parliament from 1881-1901. The Corran was a 17 room mansion lavished with oriental carvings, ancient weapons, tapestries and book-lined walls. As known as the McNeill Estate, there are many things to see: an impressive view from the top of the Niagara Escarpment, a spiral staircase to the water's edge, and access to the Bruce Trail.
