we didn't know where we were going as the building was closed, once we saw the staircase down 4-5 flights we figured that was the way. we didn't think we would make it down to the water but we did and it was awesome. it's not so much a hike as it was rock climbing! at least on the way... More

My husband and I enjoyed a hike down to the river and were astounded by the power and beauty of the Niagara River. The water was so clear and crystal blue. The trails were well defined and there were many of them. The hike down to the water was very rocky and steep but definitely worth it!

Most tourists don't even give this place a second glance: rather than see the gorge from within, they opt to shell out mega-bucks for a jet boat ride.

For the adventurous and fit people, there are stairs to the east that will take you right down to the Niagara River with clearly... More

My family hiked this last April! It is as beautiful as the falls!!! Can't wait to go back! The river and area is beautiful to hike in! My husband and I and our two sons twelve years and 15 years really enjoyed it!

Just on outskirts of city is this wonderful hidden away area. Take the time to drive through it or make a picnic and enjoy. Love it.

If you love hiking and nature and water, then you've come to the right place. Niagara Glen is a natural haven! The journey begins with a walk across the park, and down a high metal stairway that takes you down to the gorge some 25-30 meters. Narrow paths leading further then and then, voila! Beauty looks you right in the... More
