Mountain Brow East
Head to 328 Mountain Brow Road and you can find a lookout point that offers incredible panoramic views of the city landscape.

You can also explore the recreational trail that starts there and runs through the Red Hill Valley to the top of the Niagara Escarpment at Mud Street.
Waterfront Trail
Enjoy an easier asphalt trail that winds along the Hamilton shoreline from Princess Point through Bayfront Park, Pier 4, and onward. This trail also connects to the Desjardins Canal that borders Cootes Paradise – a protected wetland that features some of the most diverse animal and plant species in Ontario. You’ll be able to see a wide variety of tree species showcasing their most beautiful colours.
