Confirmed from Niagara Watershed Greenway Parks & Trails' 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.
What runners say about Niagara Watershed Greenway Parks & Trails
Great place to stop on your way to the Whirlpool Rapids with amazing views. I'd recommend biking or walking as there are little dips you cab go through for the best views.
This is a very good, kids-friendly, easy going trail which goes along the Niagara River from Niagara Falls State Park starting from Rainbow Bridge on the US side toward the Whirlpool Bridge and further to Devil's Hole State Park with scenic views of Niagara canyon along the way.
