A field guide to exploring Hamilton with your four-legged travel companion.
Hamilton rewards the curious. Beyond the escarpment views and more than 100 waterfalls, its old industrial neighbourhoods are full of independent kitchens, taprooms and pocket parks.
This guide collects the places we have visited with our dog, with practical notes on patios, trails, policies and what to expect when you arrive. Always confirm current rules directly before setting out.
