Does anyone know of any waterfalls or springs near campus that are good to go swimming in?

Hamilton is apparently famous for its waterfalls...not for swimming though afaik

There's one in MDCL's atrium...though it's not very private in terms of swimming...

on this question, does anyone know how tew's falls is atm? i was thinking of checking it out, but was informed to investigate its water volume (apparently it drops in the summer) before i go

tews and websters are bone dry. wait until it rains a bit more and then go. best time to go see the falls is late fall, early spring

ah dang, really? how about tiffany and sherman?

and does it help that it just rained pretty hard today from isaac?

I'd wait a bit before going as most of the falls I visited in the summer were pretty unremarkable due to low water levels

yea there is plenty of time, its best to go when they are ready for it other wise you may just come back disappointed. ...

if you want to go explore around then i suggest heading down to cootes paradise. there is a trial behind brandon which takes you down to the board walk which is nice.

there is also a trial behind the parklot behind les prince which goes quite a ways.

you can also head down to princess point and walk along the waterfront trail and catch the sunset (when the sky clears up)

HAha too funny!

I would not advise swimming in any of Hamilton's waters. :3

Cootes paradise is an amazing trail - definitely worth checking out!

Tiffany Falls is always nice. Very close too! Beautiful walk.
Albion falls is in Stoney Creek and its also pretty big but sort of full of garbage :(
