Spencer Gorge to begin daily advanced reservations on Saturday, September 28

Spencer Gorge Conservation Area, which includes Dundas Peak, Tew Falls and Webster Falls, will require an  advanced reservation seven days a week, beginning Saturday, September 28 until Sunday, November 10, to accommodate the fall colour season.

Reservations can be made for 2-hour blocks for the Dundas Park and Tew Falls hike experience, or the Webster Falls hike experience.

New for 2024! Visitors now have the option of reserving both hiking experiences, including Dundas Peak, Tew Falls and Webster Falls under one 4-hour reservation.

Spencer Gorge Conservation Area showcases the physical features that make the Niagara Escarpment one of Ontario’s most spectacular geological formations. This significant natural area contains two beautiful waterfalls: Webster and Tew Falls. Webster is a magnificent, tiered waterfall, and Tew towers 41 metres and is only a few metres shorter than Niagara Falls. Both experiences offer stunning views of the gorge and the
surrounding urban area.

Admission fees are $11 per car and $5 per passenger, plus a $10 reservation fee. An additional $11 parking fee applies to the 4-hour hiking experience. HCA Members receive free admission, but must pay the reservation fee. Reservations are rain or shine and must be made online in advance. Reservation can be made up to one week before the date of visiting. Only one vehicle is permitted per reservation. Visitors without a reservation will be denied entry. No walk-up or drive-up entry will be permitted without a reservation.

Municipal Parking Bylaw Enforcement staff will be patrolling the neighbourhoods surrounding the areas to enforce parking restrictions, including tow-away zones. Parking tickets in Special Enforcement Areas carry a
$250 fine.
