Royal Queens Park Trail
The Royal Queens Park Trail in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario is an easy 0.3 km trail that runs along the lakefront at Royal Queens Park and features views of Lake Ontario, Old Fort Niagara (in the USA), and Toronto on the horizon.This short trail can be found on either end of Royal Queens Park, but this one-way route begins on the east side of the park along King Street. The trail follows a paved pathway as it leading downhill as it passes a scenic gazebo before reaching the shoreline of Lake Ontario. The trail runs along the water's edge with views along the way before it leads back uphill into the wooded park. At the western end of the shoreline section is a nice view of the lake toward Fort Mississauga.
The trail ends along Front Street North for a short 0.3 km walk.
Universal Access
This paved trail is universally-accessible for most of the route. Starting on the eastern-end of the trail, visitors will find a universally-accessible path that connects to the sidewalk along King Street. This paved, smooth path, leads downhill and runs along the shoreline following a mostly-flat surface along concrete pavers. The western side of the trail, where it ascends back into the park, is steeper and follows a hardened dirt surface. For this reason, this trail should be considered mostly universally-accessible but not fully accessible as of August 2024.
Parking
Visitors will find a large parking lot in the middle of the park, located off of Front Street N in Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON.
Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and must be cleaned up after.
