For sure, you want to do The Niagara
..Escarpment. Niagara Falls to Tobermory at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. There is a book about the many waterfalls. There is a well travelled hiking trail that gets you by/through all the urban areas. Called "The Bruce Trail"?

agreed on the Bruce. I was in Tobermory this summer and the hiking was amazing. Great scenery that you dont get around here either. Its at least a 4 hour drive but if you have a few days do it! Great fall colours im sure up there now too.
Sure you can.
You can do many segments of the trail that work out nicely for 1/2 or 1 day.Cobster said:

Some parks in Hatlon. Been to some, nice for hiking.

Believe at the Halton parks you buy one pass and can visit a couple of parks.

Look.
Algonquin Park can be done in a day, but that's a lot of driving for one day. It's doable though.
Close to Toronto? Near Milton there's Hilton Falls, near Hamilton there's Webster's Falls and Tews Falls (sp?) - hike tends to be short.
There's beautiful walks along the Niagara River.
But my money's on Algonquin. It's worth the long drive, especially this time of year. The colours should be about to peak now.

Try the waterfall tour in & around Owen Sound.
Inglis falls in Owen Sound & Eugenia falls near Flesherton are two of the best in Ontario.

For hiking, there is few natural sights in this area that compare to the Grotto just south of Tobermory. It is part of Bruce Penisula National Park and is accessed through Cyprus Lake, about 1-2 Km south of Tobermory.

Of course just about anything on the Bruce Trail/Niagara Escarpment is worth the drive
This is a list & description of some of the best
