Wanna see Hamilton waterfalls and the leaves changing colour? Fantastic new pilot program by the City of Hamilton #Repost @cityofhamilton... The fall spectacle of colours, at Hamilton’s waterfalls, is almost upon us and the City of Hamilton wants to make your visit as safe as possible. Visitors can park at Christie Lake Conservation Area then take the Hamilton Conservation Authority (HCA) shuttle bus to the falls. Once they arrive, there are numerous safe viewing areas for photos and enjoyment by all. The HCA shuttle service runs on weekends and holiday Mondays until Sunday October 27, 2019 leaving Christie Lake and travelling to the Spencer Gorge. There is no on-site parking available at Spencer Gorge during shuttle operations, with the exception of limited accessible parking, at Webster Falls. The cost for the shuttle is included in the regular area entry fee to Christie Lake Conservation Area. In a few short weeks, the leaves will start to turn their glorious colours, at various locations of the City of Hamilton’s waterfalls and Hamilton Conservation Authority waterfalls (Websters, Tew, Dundas Peak, Devil’s Punchbowl and Albion Falls) which is a much-anticipated natural event by hikers and residents alike. As a reminder, the City has a special parking enforcement area in effect until Friday, November 15, 2019 in Dundas and Greensville. The new City of Hamilton parking signs are visible at entry points to the Special Enforcement Area. This is to let people know that parking violations will result in a significantly higher penalty within this area. The special parking enforcement area, with a penalty of $250, is a pilot program launched by the City this year. The increased penalty is a way to promote and encourage visitors to use the convenient and centralized parking area at Christie Lake Conservation Area with shuttle service on weekends and holidays. This allows for everyone to enjoy the waterfalls safely without causing public safety, traffic and throughway concerns, especially for emergency vehicles. Parking Enforcement and ticketing will be carried out by Parking Control Officers. Municipal Law Enforcement Officers will be enforcing at those waterfalls, that are signed, to stay on the marked trails.
