Founded in 1830, Waterdown has become one of Hamilton’s most beloved communities — and for good reason! Filled with charm, community and opportunity, Waterdown is the perfect place to begin any chapter of your life in.
For Those Who Brave The Trails
Hiking trails are a major part of the fabric of the Waterdown/Hamilton area. The beloved Bruce Trail weaves its way up and through the town, and each local has his or her favourite trails. Check out a few that are at the top our list:
Smokey Hollow Trail, Waterdown
Graced with a gorgeous 10-metre tall waterfall, parking and accessibility, Smokey Hollow Trail in Waterdown is a great workout. It is a great out-and-back hike, featuring stairs and rock features. Parts of the trail are right against a river bed, making for scenic views all year round. Post-hike, walk right into town and stop at Copper Kettle Café for some liquid energy and their mouthwatering apple fritters!
Rockcliffe Loop Trail
Whether you’re a runner, biker or just an observer of Canada’s stunning wildlife, Rockcliffe Loop Trail does not disappoint. This 3.4 km trail is a moderate hike, but features just enough elevation to keep it interesting. Local Tip? Get there early! There are only a few parking spots available — and they go fast!

For Those With Furry Friends
No community or city would be complete without access to dog parks for (let’s be honest) your best friend to play around in.
Joe Sam’s Leisure Park
Once a humble farm, Joe Sam’s Leisure Park is now a Waterdown hotspot with various sports fields, walking paths, a playground, and — you guessed it, a lively dog park. Apart from the activities, it’s home to meadows, wetlands, and a scenic 2 km stretch of Grindstone Creek. Swing by to explore the perfect mix of outdoor fun and nature!
