I can't even begin to explain how gorgeous this park/trail is. Me and my friends were heading to…read moreNiagara for the weekend, and wanted to start off the day with a physical activity. I found this place after doing a little bit of research, and I was not disappointed. The trail is a bit bumpy, unpaved, and difficult to go through. I personally love good trails and hikes, so it doesn't bother me. But i'll recommend wearing good running shoes with strong grip. As you're going through the trail, take it slow and easy so you don't slip on any unstable wood or rocks. You first go down a large staircase from the area I went through, then a 15 minute path. Once we reached the water, I was in awe. The water is bright blue, clean, the trees are as green as they can get, and the breeze is beautiful. The wind was blowing, which was refreshing after a sweaty trail walk. The views were unbelievable, including falls further away. I couldn't even believe it was in the Niagara area. If you're looking for a short trail and stunning views that transport you out of the city, this is the place to visit!! I will definitely be back and try different pathways :)

This is a lovely hike early in the day. Tons of stairs, you have to go up them on the way back…read more The path is fairly well marked, but has plenty of areas with a drop off so pay attention. I'm pretty familiar with this hike and enjoy it. Easy parking nearby.

Four Mile Creek State Park, New York I found this campground…read moreon Https://parks.ny,gov as I was planning a trip, a lifelong goal, to see Niagara Falls. I chose Four Mile Creek State Park for its proximity to the Falls, and nearby attractions like Fort Niagara, an Aquarium, the Niagara Power Vista, and the Underground Railroad Heritage Center, to name a few. This camp offers a shuttle service to these places, no need to worry about parking! I was welcomed by a cheerful office staff and given a map for the Niagara Falls State Park. I went to my site 13, it was nicely shaded and I had access to 30amp service and water a few sites away. The bathrooms & showers were clean and had access to washer/dryer. I met lots of nice people and the weather was great. (6/1 to 6/8) Every member of staff I encountered was friendly and accommodating. Shout out to maintenance staff, Mike, the shuttle driver and Tim, manning the Camp Store. In fact, Tim even circulates the campground every night after the store is closed with ice & firewood. I visited the Falls, walking all over the American side then walked across the bridge to Canada for lunch observing the Canadian side of the Falls. But my favorite thing about this whole journey was the sunsets on Lake Ontario. On clear nights, the city of Toronto is visible. Every night campers would drift down to the field on the lake to watch the sunset. It was the most mesmerizing thing, many different people connecting with this beautiful world.

It was about a 15 minute walk and I wasn't sure what to expect but my goodness, it sure is breathtaking! A much better view than over where I parked. They had some coin-operated binoculars you can use to get a closer look. You can even take a staircase down a few flights to get super close. It sure felt good on a hot day, the mist was just what I needed to cool down a little bit. Along with the view here, you can find the observation tower to get an even higher look at the falls. It cost me $1.25 and only took me 15 minutes or so but it was worth it. It was the only spot on the US side where I could see all three of the falls at the same time. Probably the best view I got. The visitors center is also located right here. Overall, they've done a great job at keeping the area accessible white protecting the beauty of the falls.

It was very easy to get to, parking wasn't more than a few bucks, and I had a lovely time. I didn't go on a tour or anything, I just explored by foot and navigating my way around was a breeze thanks to all of the signage and information everywhere. I visited one of the restrooms near the parking lot and it was rather clean for being a public bathroom in such a busy tourist area. The paths were paved and they had coin operated binoculars to use to get an even closer up view of Horseshoe Falls. While the view isn't as good as when you're on the Canadian side, it's still breathtaking. You're pretty much on top right as the water spills over and you can feel the energy of the water. I stood there in awe for a good 10 minutes enjoying the mist on my skin. It was a hot day so it was much appreciated. The sound is also so soothing. I could totally have picniced in the area and taken a short nap. I definitely suggest paying this spot a visit if you're out exploring.

If you are not up for a walk you can drive here and park at the nearby lot and it is a short walk. It's a beautiful view and no matter where you are on the walkway you will get a great shot of the falls. If you want to just sit and take it in, you can. On a nice warm day, the mist every so often off the falls feels good hitting your face while the sun is baking you. This can be as quick a visit as you want it to be. Or you can just sit hear all day and watch the hoards of tourist coming and going.

Even though it was early May, and camping yurts and other things in park, weren't open, hardly anyone at park with it being offseason, we sure did enjoy the exploration of the park. Sadly we didn't check out the light house, as it was closed. The playground replica of the Point Light House was fun to go on, yes, as an adult, Ill admit we both enjoyed letting out our inner child. The nature trails may have been a bit muddy from recent rain, but easy to manage, recommend if you check park out after rain, wear hiking boots, or sneakers you don't mind getting dirty.

There's the Olott Beach Carousel Park (closed this year due to Covid), Krull Park, and Olcott Beach. The beach was actually closed last year because of exceptionally high water level in Lake Ontario that totally eroded away the entire beach and covered all the piers. The beach is back this year, though not as wide as it was previously and most of the docks are still under water. It's been a decent place to go this year especially during the week when there's not much of a crowd. The beach was pretty empty on my last visit. Check it out!
