Stoney Creek Tourism

Stoney Creek is a community within the city of Hamilton, Ontario, that lies along the western shore of Lake Ontario. Its historical sites and conservation areas are its chief tourist attractions.
  1. Battlefield House Museum

    • The museum's role-playing staff interprets the lives of the Gage family, the early 19th century occupants of this late 18th century home. The museum's exhibits tell the story of the Battle of Stoney Creek, which took place on June 6, 1813, as part of the War of 1812.

    Erland Lee Museum

    • The Erland Lee Museum has two aims. One is to recognize Erland and Janet Lee's founding in 1897 of the Women's Institute advocacy organization. The other is to tell the early history of Stoney Creek and the Lees' role in that history.

    Fifty Point Conservation Area

    • This 190-acre park on the shores of Lake Ontario features a marina, a public beach, a camping area, a nature trail and outdoor ball hockey courts.

    Devil's Punch Bowl Conservation Area

    • The Devil's Punch Bowl is a 20-foot-high waterfall that cascades over the Niagara escarpment into a bowl-like formation. A platform at the top provides views, and a trail drops down into the gorge and up to the base of the falls.

    Dofasco 2000 Trail

    • This 7-mile, multi-use trail starts at the Devil's Punch Bowl Conservation Area and passes through the local countryside and a forest area known as Vinemount South Swamp. It also connects to the Battlefield House Museum and the Bruce Trail, an 885-km pathway along the Niagara Escarpment.
