    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.

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.

    Some people really love the food here... me, not so much, unfortunately…read more I play on a softball league sponsored by the dug out. Co-ed on Friday nights. It's definitely a lot of fun, I just don't usually stay to eat. The pizza I tried tasted like it was a frozen pizza honestly, and the wings I tried were apparently dry rub, and they were just too dry for me... go figure. I wish I had known here were different options for the wings (I forget what sauce it was, and I didn't specify so I got the dry). If I had to guess, it was a Cajun type. I do like their loaded fries though, and their quesadillas are pretty good, but if I remember correctly, the jalapeños in them were pretty spicy. Their bathrooms are always disgusting. Sometimes no toilet paper, the floor is always wet, sometimes the paper towel dispenser isn't working, and well today, the toilet itself wasn't even working. All the dirt from the baseball fields (plus there's an outdoor beach volleyball area) gets into the restaurant.

    The Dugout is a straight cool place to hang out in the summer when there are softball games going…read moreon. Bring your bug spray, that's the only thing. There's always something going on here, the bartending staff is always so laid back and easy going, it's enjoyable to sit at the bar and hang. The beer is cheap, the food is your typical bar food, nothing special about it, but also edible. Plenty of parking, batting cages, some arcade games, pool tables, etc.

    In another life, when I was a reporter, I did a story on this place. I never checked it out. My…read moreaunt has always talked about it and we all made plans a week after to go for a brisk walk on the trail. There are a few entrances onto the trail; the two main entrances, the start and end, or vice versa, of the trail is Union Road by the junk yard, across from the Erie County Water Authority (there is a parking lot), and Medina Street. If you start on Medina Street, you have to cross William Street to continue on the trail. I would recommend just starting on Strawn Ave., to avoid the traffic and potential hazardous experiences crossing traffic. If you don't start the trail from the two end points, you can pick it up at Stradtman Street, which has a parking lot, Kennedy, St. Felix, and Ludwig Ave. We were there around 7pm on a Monday and it was pretty active with walkers, bikers, and dog walkers. It is a great little trail parallel with the railroad track. I like that they made use of this space for recreational purposes instead of not doing anything with it at all. It is peaceful and a cool path. I would recommend going with at least one other person because it is secluded, by train tracks, and you don't want to end up on a true crime podcast. I didn't feel in jeopardy at all, but you always want to be safe. We brought Cooper, my mom's dog, and he ended up going to the bathroom twice. We only had one bag. It was ok though, because along the trail there are bags for such things and garbage cans. I loved that feature. It keeps the trail extra clean too. Wildlife report: Bunnies. No deer on the night we went.
