The City of Waterfalls

With more than 100 waterfalls within city limits, there’s a reason Hamilton is called “The City of Waterfalls.” McMaster is a short walk from the Niagara Escarpment (a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve), the waterfront trail, the Royal Botanical Gardens, Lake Ontario and the Cootes Paradise nature reserve, a large and beautifully maintained waterway.
