The Collingwood Trails

Reviewed By Fabulash - Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada

Easy trail to walk and nice and close to the Living Water Resort & Spa where we stayed. We started at the Heather Pathway and walked all the way through forested areas, then along Georgian Bay waterside into downtown Collingwood.

Burlington Waterfront Trail

Reviewed By davidhT3758JS - Burlington, Canada

The Burlington Waterfront Trail provides a wonderful experience for just about everyone. One may cycle, walk, jog or just hang out. The trail runs from the Hamilton Harbour Lift Bridge to the pier at the end of Brant Street. The main elements of the trail were made from a former railway line which ran from Toronto the the US. One of the main features along the way is Spencer Smith Park, home of the country's biggest ribfest as well as the annual Sound of Music festival. The park features a water park for kids as well as swings and a zip line. Spenser's restaurant is an upscale dining site with excellent meals and a grand view of Lake Ontario. Nearby, there are numerous restaurants along Lakeshore and Brant Streets. Parking is free along the beach boulevard on a first come, first served basis. The trail is also accessible by public transit. No matter the time of year, the trail is enjoyable and quite calming as the waves roll in.

Greater Niagara Circle Route

Reviewed By LisaR94 - Owen Sound, Canada

Did a 2.5 day trip of the 150k route. Rented e-bikes from Zoom Leisure Bikes and had a fantastic time. We started in Niagara on the Lake, made our way down to Port Colborne along the Welland Canal, over to Fort Erie and north to Niagara Falls to end back up at Niagara on the Lake. Love travelling and not have to use a car. Lots of exercise, great food and wine. Highly recommend.

The Welland Canals Parkways Trail

This trail follows the canal along its west bank from St. Catharines through Thorold, Welland, and Port Colborne. In Thorold, the path crosses to the "Thorold Island" created between the old third canal and the current fourth canal in Welland, it follows the old fourth canal through the city, paved on both sides of the canal. The trail zigzags across the canal in Port Colborne until it meets the Friendship Trail at Seaway Park.

Reviewed By vinnie52 - Toronto, Canada

On a recent cycling trip to the Niagara Peninsula we went along the Welland Canal starting at Lake Ontario in St Catherine's. The trail runs from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie. Approximately 50km. Stopped in Welland for a coffee at a small Cafe which prides itself with its board games . Its Welland first Board Game Cafe I believe. It's right on the canal on the West side corner at the end of the bridge, which is one way so be careful use the sidewalk. The trail path is so picturesque and the path is in great shape. You follow the elevation of the canal and at the end of the path in Port Colbourne you can pick up the Friendship Trail which will take you on to Fort Erie. Highly recommend this trip.
