Niagara Gorge

The Niagara Gorge Trail System is made up of a series of smaller trail sections that parallel the Niagara River Gorge. The trails vary in degree of difficulty. Some trails may be closed to the public at certain times of the year; for your own safety, hiking should occur between mid-May and November. Rock falls are most common in the winter and early spring. Trails at the top are well developed footways, and can be hiked with little effort in ordinary footwear. Those in the gorge are more rugged and call for extra caution. Good, sturdy hiking boots are recommended for trips into the gorge.
