Have you ever wondered what those 2 big domes are at the Hamilton Waterfront?  What is the Fishway?  I didn’t know that about the H.M.C.S. Haida.  What is that silver pavilion at Bayfront Park?  Come aboard the Hamilton Waterfront Harbour West Trolley Tour and find out for yourself!

In 2006 the Hamilton Waterfront Trust unveiled the first Hamilton Waterfront Trolley and added a second in 2007.  The two 37-passenger rubber tired trackless trolleys allow both young and old the opportunity to travel along the Hamilton Waterfront Trail.  The 12km trail follows the shoreline of the western portion of the harbour which features many natural and built attractions, including active marine and rail operations, marinas and sailing/rowing clubs, children’s play facilities, historic bridges, and a shoreline and views so natural that you will think you are in Muskoka.  Your conductor provides a narrated commentary as you travel in this one of a kind vehicle.
