Great Falls
A picturesque 33 ft waterfall in Waterdown with a viewing platform. Can be quite striking in winter after it has frozen. This is also the location of the former industrial community of Smokey Hollow, remnants of which can be found around the site.
There are many beautiful old stone buildings in Waterdown. Mill Street is a good place to start.
Heritage farmhouse of the Ireland family preserved as a museum.
Burlington Junction Railway Station
The City of Burlington purchased this former railway station (built in 1906) for preservation, and had it moved from its original location.
Several moderate loops for hiking provide scenic lookouts from the Niagara Escarpment, and connect to the Bruce Trail. Crevices and old growth cedar trees define the top of the cliff. Reservations are required.
The park features waterfront area, trails, open green space and a replica of a historic pavilion.
