Webster's Falls, Tews Falls, Christie Lake closed for icy tree hazards

If you were planning a holiday weekend jaunt to Webster's or Tews Falls, or to Christie Lake, you will need to look for other options.

The Hamilton Conservation Authority announced Friday afternoon it would close those areas on Saturday until further notice. 

Freezing rain and ice that affected Greensville in Flamborough also affected the trees in the conservation area. 

"The recent ice storm that hit the local Greensville area has much of the forest canopy wrapped in an icy grip posing serious hazard tree issues at these conservation areas," the authority said. 

Need a waterfall fix? We've got videos of both Webster's and Tews Falls, shot last year when things were a little snowier: 

• Climb the ice wall at Tews Falls 
• Take a dive over Webster's Falls

Meanwhile, the Dundas Valley Conservation Area has reopened to the public. But you should still be careful on the public trails, as there are still pockets of ice.
