Hiking

Just past the Niagara Glen Nature Center is a fenced area, and over the fence is an impressive view of the Niagara River in the gorge below. Walk to Niagara Glen Nature Trail to navigate the cliff sides and get to know the forest below, but some of the best views are from up top by the nature center, easily accessible from the parking area.

Hiking

This place is simply fantastic. We loved it. The trails were a bit challenging, but it was a great experience. It's usually quiet here during the week. There's ample parking, so parking isn't a problem. The public restrooms were very clean. Don't forget to click on the map image, as it can be confusing otherwise. I don't recommend going with children, as the trails are very rocky and would be difficult for children. If you enjoy hiking and want to experience nature up close, this place is ideal. An absolute must for anyone looking for an adventurous hike.
