AMAZING! Tried the library pass and now l am going to buy a membership...thank you founders that made this place possible as mentioned on a plaque dedicated to Bruce at the rail station headquarters. So tragic he died this way yet l love that he says “I believe in the Conservation Authority. I am proud to work here, and I think it’s incredibly important to make an impact in any way you can.” Thank you Bruce for saving a sliver of nature that is Hamilton and l hope others try the library pass then buy memberships too. Much better time spent than shopping.

DO NOT BUY THE PASS. Nature should be free, and these trails are accessible without the pass. Just park at the Lions Club Pool and you don’t need the pass. So sad to see HCA attempting to put a paywall behind nature and trails.

Many trails to choose from.
Well maintained.

Membership is great value ... I Mountain Bike and hike so often that its covers itself fast ... the Trails are great as is the scenery ... the animals and birds are interesting as well!

Visited Dundas Peak on a rainy day. It was very misty and cool so the walk was pleasant. There are reservation and parking fees that are a bit pricey (I paid $42) for just a mediocre walk with a waterfall at the start.

在营地住了3晚，正好遇到中国的中秋节，月亮好大好圆！美极了！营地夜里不仅有鹅叫还有狼嚎，可谓非常原生态了。营地门口有一家farm卖自家产鸡蛋和蜂蜜的很好，（一盒至少有3-4个双黄蛋，很有趣）只是要提前预约才能买到。唯一不大理想的是营地之间挨得有点近，私密性稍微差一点。

TEWS, Webster and Dundas Peaks used to be such gorgeous spots to go to. HCA has destroyed the views and ambiance with these high ultra ugly black fences. They not only totally obstruct the view and make you feel like an imbecile, they also do not fit with the beautiful nature. They are so austere. The people who chose them obviously do not enjoy nature or beautify.

Webster Falls parkland is a disgrace. We could not see the falls from any location, so the park fee was a waste of money. The lawns and brush around the river is unkempt so having a picnic was not enjoyable, let alone having wedding photos taken (used to be a popular location). Maybe HCA should’ve spent more money on upkeep than on destroying the place.

Dundas Peak used to be gorgeous. Now, besides not being able to see the view, the rocks are covered in screenings, and there are no benches. People used to hang around sitting on the rocks enjoying each other’s company, have something to eat all the while enjoying the view. Now you walk the distance to get there, see the ugliest fence ever designed and leave.

I understand safety, but we can’t idiot proof nature, plus safety can still fit with the surroundings. HCA has succeeded in one thing - crowd control because very few people are going to spend the money to see a fence.

Endangering locals with the scary, dangerous Tiffany Falls parking lot amongst other issues!!! Always dangerously full. City of Hamilton wrongly advertising City of Waterfalls to all locals dangerous detroment! Optimist Club Greensville cannot use park They Fundraised For! Give less than 1star if I could. Ugly Wilson St. Bike lanes now blocking all the tenant parking in all the apartment buildings along Main West on east and west side of Main West ip to Whitnry Ave. Close Tiffany Falls parking lot!! I tried to go to Ancaster Meadowlands Sunday at 1:00 pm from new the White Chapel Cemerty and there was traffic blocked up by Tiffany Falls parking lot on my way out and home again two hours later. City Housing Hamiltin 2 building complex at 1884/1900 Main West now has their undergroud tenant parking entrance blocked by bike lane concrete stands! Close the Tiffany Falls parking lot. City and Hamilton Conservation Authority blocked traffic two Valentine's ago by alloelwing ice climbing and traffic was so backed up on both sides the HSR busses were stuck. City blocked the emergency vehicles too getting to McMaster Hospital. Give the local Falls back to taxpaying residents and keep us safe. Hamilton Conservstion Authority is just as bad as the City of Hamilton.
