Outdoors Hamilton is defined by its geography. The Niagara Escarpment, a United Nations World Biosphere cuts through the middle of the city, providing outstanding vistas, trails, and waterfalls. Hamilton Harbour and Lake Ontario provide great recreational pursuits, from boating to parks to trails. Being located at the head of Lake Ontario, Hamilton is a key location for bird migration – a birders delight. And, Hamilton’s land mass is 65% rural, offering tremendous conservation areas and agri-tourism experiences that range from farm visits to fall fairs.
