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
