Beyond the Falls
There's much more to this week-long cycling trip than just the famous waterfalls: history, creativity, historic architecture, and an agrotourism tour await you.
Ride along the Welland Canal and its locks, cycle along the Niagara River Trail toward the falls, and stop by the wineries to sample their ice wines.
At Queenston Heights Park, take in the panoramic view of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario. See the Loyalist homesteads in Niagara-on-the-Lake and breathe in the scent of roses in the botanical gardens. Niagara has it all!
