| Area information. Hamilton is a Canadian port city on the western tip of Lake Ontario. The Niagara Escarpment, a huge, forested ridge known locally as "the mountain" and dotted with conservation areas and waterfalls, divides the city. The long-distance Bruce Trail runs along the escarpment from Niagara falls to Tobermory. HMCS Haida, a naval warship on the city's lakefront, and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in the south, trace Canada's military past. Hamilton is also home to the Royal Botanical Gardens which, with 1100 ha, is Canada's largest Botanical Garden. In 2016 it registered 270, 000 visitors. And then there is Dundurn Castle.
