Here’s The Deal:
Tiffany Falls Conservation Area is Hamilton's most significant natural preserve area. The central feature of the conservation area is the two waterfalls, such as Tiffany Falls and Washboard Falls. The beginning of March adds an adventure element to the visitors. The area provides a link between the green space corridor along the Niagara Escarpment through the Hamilton urban area and the extensive natural areas of the Dundas Valley. The park's trail is short and enjoyable, and the falls are impressive. The wooden bridges in the park add extra beauty to the trails. Tiffany Falls is impressive in the summer with all the lush vegetation. The fall depends on the weather, and it could be wide in spring and narrower in winter. The most notable animal, insect, reptile and plant species are in the conservation area. You get the outdoor experience and nature.
