Confirmed from Lasalle Waterfront Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park with a bike path, picnic areas, fishing, and barbecue grills, as well as a public restroom.
What runners say about Lasalle Waterfront Park
“Just remember to clean up after them as well as yourself, and maybe together, we'll be able to enjoy this park for years to come.”
“A beautiful place to see the Rainbow Bridge and all the water/scenery surrounding it.”
“Peaceful sitting in the warm sun, watching the ice go by.”
Very nice place right on the Niagara River. The last public land was set aside so the public would always have access to the river. Good view in both directions. The river is over a half mile wide at this point. You can rent bikes that you can take up-and-down the river.
My favorite place to sit and the bike path is conveniently located right along the niagara river and takes you to Niagara Falls State Park.
Very nice quiet and clean. You can rent a bike. Bathrooms. Bike path all the way to the falls along the river.
Nice public park down on the water front of the Niagara River. Awesome place to enjoy the sun while enjoying the nicely groomed pathways for walking or riding your bike. The park has picnic tables that aren't destroyed and a bathroom I was actually kinda impressed by, as far as cleanliness.
