St. Catharines - Port Colborne, 60 km, 3 days

This path – also called Welland Canal Parkway Trail - follows the Welland Canal between Lake Erie and Lake Ontaria, west of the Niagara River and the Niagara Falls. The trail is used by hikers, bikers, rollerbladers, and is closed to motorized traffic. The path gives a good impression of the channel, which is still in operation.

You can combine this Welland Canals Trail with the Niagara River Recreation Trail, Waterfront Trail, and a smaller path, which will make for a circular walk of 140 km: the Greater niagara Circle Route.
