Has anybody visited Hamilton waterfalls? Any feedback on how to organise a day trip?

It seems like for each group, you can park your car at a place and then hike around and see all the falls. However, I would appreciate a first-hand feedback on this place.

I did not like the place when I was there in 2006.
There was a glimpse of fall colours that you can see on the hike (a huge valley will be seen). A short hike will take you to a little stream where in there is also a small grassed area where people picnic.
It was not worth it but again it is relative.
For fall colours, people advise Mississauga road locally.
They say that the Grunge of Guelph is better and I agree. Also the lake at the old limestone quarry at Guelph was too over rated.
Hope this helps.

Last year we had been to couple of falls. they are not spectacular as Niagara Falls (obviously) but they are scenic and you can cover 3-4 falls and make one of them as picnic spot. Good for hiking. Worth visiting at least once.

Falls. There are over 100 falls in that region that are grouped within 10 groups.
I want to go there during labour day weekend. I am still in no mood for fall colour. Just want to spend day around sightseeing and taking photographs.

WEBSTERS AND TEWS FALLS :
Here is a link and a small view of the Falls. Some portions of the bridge were rebuilt for the tourists. You can travel right to the bottom of the falls. On your way out and towards Hamilton and Dundas, you will see the view from the escarpment into the lower valley sector, a rustic scenery of the two valley cities, to view and enjoy. Parking was free when I visited. There are boards at the entrance and at the viewing gallery depicting the falls and provides ample details and history of the falls to any tourist who is about to enter. Carry a Movie Camera or take a series of pictures to see and enjoy them later.
You stand in front of the information area and plan it right on the spot. Carry your treats and food. Don't forget a lot of towels and tissues because you are entering the unknown territory. Also carry a box of wet knapkins.

BALLS FALLS.: About 30 klicks from Webster's on the way to Niagara Fals...

Just for your information, there are 365 falls all around the Escarpment.

Websters falls is nice, but they have closed the stairs with clear waning signs, but still you will see people ignoring that and descending all the way to the base of the falls, I guess it will be crowded during the labour day weekend, note parking is $10 and you can use it for other falls as well, Tews falls is very close by, from there you can hike 2kms to dundas peak (google pls) where you will get a nice view of hamilton
