Constructed in 1986, the Niagara River Recreation Trail is a paved path for non-motorized traffic stretching some 58 kilometers (35 miles) along the Canadian side of the Niagara River.
Niagara Parks is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the beauty of the lands adjacent to the Niagara River for the enjoyment of its visitors.
Whether cyclist, jogger or pedestrian, anyone fortunate enough to travel on the Niagara River Recreation Trail moves in some very special company, for in yesteryears British regulars and local militiamen thundered along this historic highway, racing to stem the flow of invaders from across the river.
