Niagara Glen
Also commonly known as the Niagara Gorge, this is a popular hiking area for both tourists and locals to explore. A result of glacial erosion, the scenic area edges and overlooks the Niagara River and raging waters of the whirlpool rapids.
To fully discover all the Glen has to offer, follow the stairways that lead to the 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) of rugged paths that wind through this pristine natural area. The Glen is home to a pocket of Carolinian Forest, prehistoric geological formations that date back more than 400 million years, and wild flora and fauna.
If you plan on exploring the Glen be sure to wear footwear appropriate for hiking to get the most out of your experience.
