I love to hike from Devil's Hole to Whirlpool State Park, but be prepared for hundreds of stairs getting down to the gorge and the return trip up. Breathtaking views of the gorge and natural landscape. Fishing is allowed in the gorge as well and some excellent.

This is one of the roughest strtches of water you'll ever see, and you can walk right next to it on a nice boardwalk.

Can be a tough hike but very worth the view! Definitely wouldn't advise doing it alone though as it's very steep and can be dangerous in certain parts.

The Niagara Gorge trail was everything I hoped it would be. A cool descent into the gorge and a great hike along the river. Lots of interesting cliff walls, lots of whitewater. There is also a cool cave. Warning - it is quite a climb back up to the top where you parked.

This is a great walk if you are into hiking, etc. or even if you just want to see as much of the falls as you can. It is awesome to see the whirlpools and white water caps this far down from the falls. It is also neat to see the jet boats as they soak their passengers in the... More

The perfect hike or bike trip to take your mind into the wonders of the Falls and nature. It is an 6 mile/90 kilometer easy walk but remember there is no public transportation to return to Rainbow Bridge area.

If you enjoy a relatively easy hike, this one is for you. The gorge is quite impressive and the walk is pretty easy.
