1. Battlefield House Museum & Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 93 reviews
One of the first houses to be built in Stoney Creek, Battlefield House was the home of the Gage family from 1796 until 1835. During these settlement years of the early 19th century, James and Mary Gage cleared and worked the land with their ten children and became well-known for their warm hospitality. The War of 1812 had a direct impact on the Gage family as they found themselves confined to their home when American soldiers occupied their land when a battle broke out during the early morning hours of June 6, 1813. The resulting British victory at the Battle of Stoney Creek was crucial in helping to prevent the Americans from seizing Upper Canada. Less than one hundred years later, in 1899, Sara Calder, grand-daughter of James and Mary Gage and first president of the Women's Wentworth Historical Society, led the purchase and preservation of the homestead. Further recognition of the significant event that took place on this property came in the year 1913, when the 100-foot tall Battlefield Monument was opened, standing as a symbol of peace and commemorating those soldiers who died at the Battle of Stoney Creek.

To learn how not to give up your country to Americans. Learn how the loyalists fought the good fight and won. Beautiful and picturesque area that was once a battle ground area.

3. Devil's Punchbowl Conservation Area
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 258 reviews
The Devil’s Punchbowl is one of the Niagara Escarpment’s most amazing sights, created at the end of the last ice age by huge melt-water rivers that plunged over the Stoney Creek Escarpment, thus carving the Punchbowl and gorge. From the bottom of the falls, one can see the many different coloured rock layers of the Escarpment. The Punchbowl is the only area where one can view such a large vertical display of Ordovician and Silurian stratified rock. Some of the layers include Queenston Formation red shale, Cabot Head grey shale, limestone and shale dolomite. There is a spectacular view of Stoney Creek and Hamilton Harbour from the lookout, not to mention the view down into the seemingly bottomless gorge.

Devil’s Punchbowl Trail is a scenic albeit difficult, short, uphill trek. Good footwear and an aversion to heights is a must! Across the road, the Dofasco Trail, which extends for kilometres, is a more flat footed, easygoing, less challenging trail where one can enjoy the outdoor beauty of farmland. The Bruce Trail which borders the below the Punchbowl is also a option. While in the area be sure to take in a panoramic view of Stoney Creek at the Look Out. Overall a great outing outside the city!

This is the Eramosa Karst Conservation Area. We can hike or walk and we saw a lot of huge rocks from the past. There were caves to enjoy! I was amazed with those huge boulders. Soil pipes sink holes. A lifelong passion for caves and Karst. Eramosa Karst. We enjoyed this place. Thank you so much. It was worthwhile.

We came to the falls off a trail and followed the river up to it. It's a trail you need to watch your footing so totally missed the sign saying don't go there! Got to the falls and 2 conservation officers came to greet us and said we can't be down there, because someone got hurt and the paramedic also was hurt so they gave us a $75 fine each. It is too bad because it is such a great place to hike and enjoy. I haven't see the falls from the top but will do that this spring or summer.

Perfect drive in movie ! One price for two movies. If you go on weekend get there early for a good spot . The red poles are only for cars so if in SUV or truck park between the white poles or you'll have to move. Love it here !
