    I'm from Detroit area where we have international crossings that can be busy with wait times - but this is horrible. Been in line for over one hour and I'm not even halfway across the bridge. The website with wait times said it would be about 40 minutes. Lies!! Two lanes for commercial trucks and one lane for cars! The only positive is that my husband can stop and look around the area. He's a lookie-loo.

    We missed our exit and had no choice but to go through the exit that leads to Canada. Of course we had to turn around there and head back toward the American side. After we have them our Identification I let them know that we weren't in Canada we missed our exit. The fellow and the boarder crossing took several minutes before telling us to go park and go inside. He didn't say why. And I didn't ask. We waited inside about 15-20 minutes before we were called to follow the officer outside where he gave us back out identifications and told us we could leave. The building at the boarder is beautiful! There were several televisions hanging up throughout but none of them were on. There was vending machines inside and lots of seating. Not what I would expect from boarder patrol. It was quiet inside with glass everywhere. You can see but have no access to the corporate side of the patrol building. They were pleasant inside and out. I had no issues I just was never told why we were told to pull over. This was only my second time taking this bridge. The first time I was coming from the United States Entering into Canada. It was anew Years Eve night and we thought it would crowded but it wasn't. The boarder patrol into Canada was nice the entire infraction was seconds long and the traffic was light.

    The Lewiston-Queenston bridge is located at the end of the 405 in Ontario in Queenston or the beginning the I-190 in Lewiston on the New York side. Depending on what side of the border you're on perhaps you'll call bridge by another name. I've always referred to this bridge as the Queenstown-Lewiston Bridge as opposed to how this bridged is named here with Lewison-Queenston but regardless we're talking about the same bridge north of Niagara Falls on either side of the border. This bridge is one of the 3 major general public road crossings between Ontario and New York state for the Niagara region. The other bridges include the Peace bridge which is the largest full traffic bridge bordering Fort Erie and Buffalo, the Rainbow bridge connects both sides of Niagara Falls and the Whirlpool bridge also known as the "lower" bridge is the dedicated Nexus only bridge. The Lewiston-Queenstown bridge is the only other bridge besides the Peace Bridge that allows commercial trucks since the Whirlpool is Nexus only and the Rainbow does not allow trucks. Because of the truck restriction this crossing can be busy with truck traffic although there are dedicated lanes for trucks to the right. I haven't been to this crossing in a very long time and I noticed this visit that the border has been completely overhauled with a new look and lanes dedicated to the rather upgraded looking duty free shop on the Canadian side. If you're going Buffalo or making your way to I-90 east or west you'll have to drive south along I-190 and unless you're going to take US-62 east towards I-290, you'll have to pay a 1 dollar toll to drive on and off of Grand Island. That toll has recently been automated and they are no longer collecting cash. They only charge a toll to cross that bridge like all tolls going into Canada and do not collect going into the US. That toll may fluctuate depending on where the US dollar is in relation to the Canadian dollar but the last time I crossed into Canada on the Whirlpool bridge the price was 3.75 USD. You can pay the toll in either US or Canadian currency. There is no dedicated Nexus lane for this crossing.

    Extremely Enjoyable! Wow what a pleasant way to spend several hours. We started the trail near Fort…read moreGeorge Historical Site in Niagara on the Lake and biked nearly all the way to Niagara Falls. Along the way there are several fruit stands and attractions like: the flower clock, views of the Niagara River, Niagara Botanical Gardens, the Whirlpool Aero Car and Niagara Falls Whirlpool Adventure Course, etc. You dip down into a little town on the way that has plenty of character. On our way back we stopped at a wonderful produce and gift store, Walkers Country Market, and relaxed with an ice cream and bought some butter tarts to go, a delicious reward for all the exercise. Please note: the trail has a few challenging spots, a couple hills. But other than that, most riders should have a very good time.

    The Niagara River Recreation Trail is a beautiful trail running all the way from…read moreNiagara-on-the-Lake to Fort Erie, past the botanical gardens, wineries, fruit stands, historical houses, art galleries and of course, the incredible Lake Ontario and Niagara Falls. While staying at Harbour House Hotel on a recent vacation, I was able to utilize this trail to continue my training for an upcoming race. The trail begins at Ricardo Street and Nelson Street (directly across from Nelson Park, a TINY waterfront park) and continues along a mostly flat path, all the way to the falls {there is one major hill right before the Botanical Gardens!} The trail is paved and mostly shaded once you get past Fort George and is a 22.6km walk/run/bike to the Falls. FYI: the Botanical Gardens are a much more manageable feat if you're looking for a nice bike ride, about 15.2km (takes about an hour from the start of the trail)! The trail gets busy during the day, but is quiet in the morning, although you will regularly see bikers/runners and dog walkers even at early hours, but a much lower 'nosy' crowd. There are lots of picnic tables, grills and you'll even find some parks along the trail with bathrooms. I didn't see any water fountains. The trail has kilometer markers every km, which makes for a convenient way to track your distance. There are many small parking lots along the trail with free parking (occasionally you'll see a paid parking lot, this is most likely in conjunction with a historic house, just go a little further down the road, and you'll find a free spot in no time!) I highly recommend checking out this trail if you're a runner, biker or just looking for a beautiful walking trail while in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
