Niagara Glen Nature Centre

I am overwhelmed after my hiking trip today! A must visit place for those who love hiking and being surrounded by nature. I took the river trail, which has some areas a bit tricky. A good pair of hiking shoes can take care of it. About the view, I have no words to describe how amazing it is! the turquoise water, sound of forceful Niagara river at places as well as the calm and quiet nature of the river at certain areas- everything is just wholesome! There are multiple points along the trail where you can see the different nature of the same river! Also at times, the energy of the whirlpool jet riders make it more enjoyable! We saw quite a lot of those boats during our hike. Anybody who is reading the review, I hope you enjoy the same or even more than I enjoyed there!

We hiked the main loop trail at Niagara Glen. The 2-kilometer path was mostly easy with a few moderate sections, and it offered breathtaking views of the Niagara River. The roaring rapids provided a dramatic backdrop, and we loved the extra thrill of watching the whirlpool jet boats zip by. The well-maintained and clearly marked trails made for a relaxing and enjoyable walk.

We recently hiked the main loop trail at the Niagara Glen Trails and had a great experience. The trails are well maintained, clearly marked, and incredibly scenic. The staff at the Nature Center were very friendly and helpful. The center itself is well-designed and maintained. I did notice a few plastic bottles littered along the path. It's a request to all the visitors to be respectful of the forest and help preserve it for everyone. We only explored the main loop trail this time, but we’re looking forward to coming back and checking out the other trails.

This place has officially become my new favorite hiking spot. The trails are beautifully maintained and offer just the right mix of adventure and serenity. I even stumbled upon a hidden lookout point facing the water, it genuinely felt like it was waiting for me to discover it. The view was so breathtaking, it actually made me emotional. Highly recommend to anyone looking for peace, beauty, and a bit of soul searching.

We did the Whirlpool loop hike here and it was the hike with most stunning views! The hike was difficult and challenging but will definitely do it again! Lovely time spent with friends. The place also has a huge park where you can plan a picnic !

The Niagara Glen trail is a wonderful hike, we did the main loop trail, a little over 2km, easy to moderate at times, very calming and very picturesque by the roaring river. Went early morning before the crowds and the heat. Great experience, have now done it twice, and would still go back again. Just a heads up, there’s a 4-story metal staircase to go down into the gorge which you have to climb back up at the end, wasn’t an issue for me, but it can be a little daunting if you’re afraid of heights or confined spaces. The trail itself is a pleasure.

Parking: it is 8.00 CAD per hour. Be prepared. The park is clean, well-maintained. The washroom is clean. We'll marked trails and the effort to reach the riverbank is worth it; the landscape is stunning.

Absolutely stunning place to hike with ranges in difficulty for all people. Some areas were slippery even when dry but that makes it ever more enjoyable to hike and challenge yourself.
