Tip...take a picture on your cell phone of the map at the top of the stairs BEFORE going in to the gorge. When on the beaten path, this was an incredibly beautiful place to hike, but we found ourselves on a narrow, steep, path that was flanked with mutant-huge poison ivy and had to bushwhack our way back to the...

We only had a short time to visit this area, but will be back to explore the trails. A great day trip location away from the busy touristy attractions of Niagara. Enjoy!! More

I recommend taking two cars, and leaving one at each end of the trail between the parking lot and the whirlpool (across from the golf course), then doing this as a one way hike. This little known area has a hiking trail from the parking lot down metal mesh stairs to the whirlpool. It has some very interesting terrain, hugging... More

I live about 15 mins from here and it's a wonderful place for a hike. Lots to see and different trails to take depending on how long you're going for. There are also other hikes near it you could spend a whole day in the area, very nice. I take my dog each summer and she loves it too, just... More

If you are coming to Niagara and you enjoy hiking, the Niagara Glen, in Niagara Ontario, between Niagara Falls and Queenston Heights, along the Niagara River is simply a must. Bring a bottle of water and a camera. Have been hiking this since I was young. More

Save your money on the whole white water walk thing and DO THIS!! A great series of trails that go through forests and marsh areas and down to the river and rapids. Depending on the trail, you may experience some strenuous terrain for casual or inexperienced hikers. But the trail by the river is breathtaking and lots of fun. Trails... More

It is a steep hike down to the river with paths that are somewhat clear. I wish they would have clearer path directions posted along the trails to help you along your way. Currently they only have a few symbols spray painted on trees to guide you. More
