Borer's is a beautiful set of falls, but the hike to get there is even more fun. You can park at the dog park on York road and either walk the creek up to the bottom of the falls. Or you can take the 2km trail to the top of the falls. If you are short on time you can park in the parking lot on rock chapel road and hike down the side of the cliff to see the waterfall from the bottom. Either way a beautiful set of falls to check out.
One of my favourite waterfalls by far! It’s beautiful and the area around the drop is mesmerizing. You can also get pretty close to the falls itself and experience the serenity of the water close-up. The trail is great as well with many lookout points and pretty even, minus a few large (and beautiful) tree roots covering parts of the trail. For the most part, this trail will either have an open field or wildflowers to your one side (depending on season) and forest/trees to the other with multiple lookouts looking down into the valley. Parking is limited at Rock Chapel and there’s usually a car or two parked at the entrance to this trail next to the road.
Nice walk for a Sunday afternoon. You can't park on the road, so hopefully, the small parking lot won't be full. It is paid but the machine didn't work. Fortunately, we didn't get a ticket.
Absolutely beautiful! My boyfriend and I went with our dog for one of the hike to the Borers Falls. It was a total of 14.5k and took us 4 hours there and back in the rain. It was a great experience that we will do again!
Very beautiful tall waterfall. To get to the bottom requires scaling a down and back up rock face and traversing some steep rocky terrain. Can be very slippery in wet or cold weather. Another option is hiking up the creek but the banks of the creek are very steep and there is a lot of rock scrambling to get up to the falls.
It was an absolute adventure hiking the trails in this park. We saw some frogs and some really interesting bugs. The creek leading up to the falls is an intense and challenging hike. Could walk these trails for hours! Make sure to bring plenty of water because you'll need it.
Beautiful location for a day or evening hike or walk. Affords beautiful views of Dundas Valley and a waterfall to boot, just around the corner! Check for ticks after walking! Also, cool to see the old Maple sugar Shack and Pavilion.
We visited Borer's Falls Conservation Area and had an amazing time walking around the trails and taking photos. Amazing area and the view platform was perfect to see the falls and for family photos. Was a great day and sunny, picture …
Beautiful area to walk with friends and your dogs ! Challenging enough to get the blood moving but not enough to scare you away and I'm turning 60 next year
Really nice view of Hamilton, and Borer's Falls looks great from the little lookout spot they have. Didn't get to explore the whole area, but definitely will go out to check out the rest of Bruce Trail in that area.
