What city is considered the waterfall capital of Canada?

Hamilton is the waterfall capital of Canada.

Over 100 waterfalls and cascades have been found (131 at last count as of February 2010), documented and photographed in Hamilton. It is believed that Hamilton has the most number of waterfalls and cascades of any urban center of its size (500,000 people) in the world and thus is referred to as “The Waterfall Capital of the World”.

The highest waterfall in Hamilton is Tew’s Falls at 41 m or 135 ft. and the shortest that is considered a waterfall for Hamilton’s list is 3 m or 10 ft. which is Little Davis Falls.

One of the most popular waterfall sites is Webster’s Falls (the widest at 100 ft. or 30 m.), as it is situated in a large park area.

There are no rivers in Hamilton, thus the size of the waterfalls are nowhere near the magnitude of Niagara Falls, located one hour away towards the south east, however these smaller waterfalls and cascades offer something different; serenity, solitude and a personal interaction with the falls which is not possible at Niagara Falls.
