Upper Niagara River Recreation Trail,
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada To Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada



The Upper Niagara River Recreation Trail is a paved path which runs approx.
25 kilometers from the brink of Niagara Falls to Fort Erie, Ontario.

The entire Niagara river waterfront on the Canadian side of the Can/Us border is parkland.

Perfect for bicycling, or walking, with plenty of picnic areas along the way.

In August you'll hear the buzz of the Cicada in the trees.
A harmless extra large fly with a distinct sound,
rarely seen but always heard.

At dusk you will find fireflies along the path.

You will find plenty of places to park along the Niagara river banks for a picnic or barbeque.

Boat launches are located throughout the park waterfront.

Plenty of 100 year old shade trees line the waterfront path.



There's always a cool breeze on those hot summer days.

Chippawa is a great place to stop and take a break if you're riding the river trail.

Plenty of restaurants and outside patios on the Chippawa creek
to relax and watch the boats go by.

Kings Bridge Park in Chippawa is part of the Upper Recreation trail.

The trail ends at Old Fort Erie in Fort Erie Ontario, Canada.
