Webster Falls is a breathtaking cascade that's only about an hour from Toronto

Webster Fallsis oneHamilton's many waterfalls(the city happens to be waterfall capital of the world), and it's easy to see why it's one of the region's most popular.

The 22-metre curtain waterfall is Hamilton's largest, and in several weeks' time, it'll be framed with stunning fall foliage.

Located just over an hour's drive west of Toronto, you'll find the falls withinSpencer Gorge Conservation Areain the charming and historic village ofDundas, Ontario.

Boasting breathtaking panoramas of the Niagara Escarpment, this conservation area actually contains two waterfalls: Webster Falls and Tew Falls.

After parking atGreensville Optimist Parkjust off Highway 8, you can see the falls right from the railing by the parking lot.

Then, walk across a beautifully restored cobblestone bridge above Spencer Creek before continuing to theDobson-McKee lookout point, where you'll find panoramic views of the gorge below.
