Things to do in Stoney Creek
Hamilton · Friends · Family · Outdoors · Rainy day
The best things to do in Stoney Creek are the waterfalls and lookouts along the escarpment, from Devil's Punchbowl to Felker's Falls, the War of 1812 history at Battlefield House, the beaches at Confederation Beach Park and Fifty Point, and the farms of Winona.
Stoney Creek sits at the east end of Hamilton, between the escarpment and the lake. Here's where to spend a day.
