Lace up those shoes! You can chase not one but three waterfalls at this enchanting destination near Toronto.

Located about an hour away from Toronto, the hike takes you along forested trails, over bridges and past beautiful natural wonders.

It's a gorgeous spot to explore year-round and makes for a great place to get lost in nature without going too far from the city. The hike will take you around 2 and a half hours to complete, depending on your pace.

Here's what to know about this waterfall-filled hike near Toronto.

Tiffany Falls, Sherman Falls and Canterbury Falls are three beautiful cascades located in the Hamilton area.

The hike begins at Tiffany Falls, where you can take a short stroll from the parking lot to the cascade. The trail takes you through a forest and over a stream.

The 21-metre tall waterfall can be enjoyed from a viewing platform and is especially beautiful during the spring and winter seasons.

Next, you can cross the street and hop on the Bruce Trail to get to the other two cascades. Sherman Falls is a 17 metre-high curtain waterfall with year-round flow.

It's located on private land, so be sure to stay on the trail while taking in the views.

The final stop along the hike is Canterbury Falls. This natural wonder is located along a creek and has a small bridge that crosses over the top.

Once you've had your waterfall fill, you can head back along the trail to the parking lot or continue to explore some of the other hikes in the area.
