For those inclined to bike/hike/or jog, the Niagara River Recreational Trail is a good choice. The trail runs from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Niagara Falls, some 14 miles. A half-way station is the little town of Queenstown - some 7 miles away. I found no restaurant there, but the church offered a seat above the river to read. The trail follows the...

Wonderful trail through trees, partially along the waterfront. Very pleasant. Easy access, mostly flat at least on the NOTL end.

My sister and I used the trail both mornings to walk. Just at the end of the Riverbend Inn's road. Great for sightseeing and exercising on!

The trail allows for great sights all along it. So serene that you can lose yourself in your thoughts. Great chance to see some wildlife too. A coyote ran through the pasture across the road. Beautiful!

When you come down to NOTL for a walk-about don't forget to bring your dog!
NOTL is very dog friendly-out door patios, paths and park land with forested areas to explore. Many outdoor patios put out water bowls for thirsty pooches to indulge. The trials, park lands, forests areas and lake front beach are perfect to share with your dogs...

From the niagara gorge to class 5 rapids and the whirlpool can all be seen from the trail. It can also be a birding hotspot...

This is a must-do in NOTL! We would stray off the trail occasionally to stop by one of the many wineries that are situated along the route. There are great views of the river and the trail goes through a few lovely historic neighbourhoods. Definitely the best way to do a wine tour!!! We took a back pack for all...

We love this trail and really enjoy parking at Fort George and making our way to the Brock Monument by bike. We usually stop along the way at Walker's Fruit Stand for the most amazing apple tart and fresh fruit. There are many spots to stop for a picnic and enjoy a gorgeous view of the Niagara River.

Rented a bike on an October morning and rode 2.5 hours along the Niagara River. Trees were amazing and the weather was great. Didn't want to go home.
