About Niagara Parks

Explore the majestic Niagara Falls Trail within Niagara Parks, Ontario, and witness the awe-inspiring power of nature. This accessible, paved pathway on the Canadian side provides breathtaking vistas of Horseshoe Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and American Falls. Stroll along the 2 km trail, pausing at iconic viewpoints like the Table Rock Historical Marker, Horseshoe Falls View, and American Falls Views, each offering a unique and unforgettable perspective of the cascading water. Be prepared for crowds and factor in a $35 CAD parking fee. To beat the rush, consider an early morning visit before the daytime hustle and bustle, or take advantage of the dazzling nighttime illuminations.

Discover the raw beauty of the Niagara Gorge at the Whirlpool Rapids Overlook, a short and rewarding 0.7 km out-and-back trail in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This easy walk leads to stunning views of the Niagara River's churning whirlpool rapids. Beginning with a staircase descent from the parking area to a paved bike trail, the path gently slopes downhill to the overlook. Parking is available for a fee ($8 CAD as of August 2024). While the initial staircase presents a challenge for universal accessibility, an alternative parking option closer to the overlook is available for visitors with mobility concerns, ensuring everyone can experience this natural wonder.
