    This place is so awesome. We loved it a lot. Trails were little bit hard but it was a good experience. This place is usually not that busy on weekdays. Parking is so big. So parking not an issue. Public washrooms were so clean. Do not forget to click the picture of map otherwise it can be confusing. I will recommend do not go with kids, because trails are so rocky, it will be difficult for kids. If you love hicking and want to see nature from very near, this places is best. Must visit this place if you want adventurous hike.

    Great place to hike, good wildlife present, and amazing scenery. Youโ€™ll need some decent shoes to get through the trails with ease. Lots of uphills so be prepared for a workout

    Super adventurous place . Enjoyed weather long walks in trails. Its quite easy to follow the map as every where sign are available. Need to wear hiking shoes and bug spray. So close to nature. Parking is quite full due to long weekend though we found parking ahead which is easy access. Washroom were clean never seen such a clean public washrooms

    Definitely a good hike and need to pay for parking for a couple hours (I was out for 4 hours). Lots of good spots to take pictures and you can get pretty close to the water.

    This is a very well maintained and defined trail for all ages. I would rate this trail as a moderate trail where young children can come here as well, if you want to bring your toddler along, you might have to carry them for some parts of the trail where it is rocky, slippery or near the edge of the cliff (quite a large part of the trail near the river is like that and there is no barricade, except some signs). Before you start, there is a big map with the various trails within the trail that you can take and they are colour coded, all the potential difficulties are labelled clearly so you can decide which one suits you. There are many colour coded signages along the trail so it is really challenging to get lost. Unlike what most say that they close some parts and stuff, it is really necessary to let the trail have a lull period for the plants to regrow or maintain some signages etc, otherwise it is way more dangerous. I came here in fall so it was really nice, as depicted in my photos, the colours are reddish yellow and the temperature is just perfect. One thing I didn't quite like here was that there are people who vape or smoke which is highly inconsiderate, especially when there are people who bring younger children. The trail was really relaxing, air fresh (less the smoke/vape), good view of the river and good amount of foliage so there is no direct sunlight. There are plenty of huge rocks or boulders where you can sit down and have your meal, but remember to clear your own trash, this is a nature trail, not your dumping ground. The trails are bidirectional so you can start from the left or right, and in the end you will end up at the starting point as well. There are also some adventurous few who come here for bouldering. Do note that you cannot stay overnight here so go home and sleep. All in all this is a really nice trail and different seasons will give you a different feel and scenery which is really nice.

    I enjoyed hiking during the summer and fall seasons. If you go wear proper shoes. It can get slippery. You will get a good workout and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

    Went at the end of October, I think just a couple weeks before the trails close, and it was just so much fun. The trails by the river are a must but all the trails in between where you're crawling between boulders or up rocky stairs are worth it to. Only regret is we didn't get to do the whirlpool trail!

    Great place to hike! It was quite cloudy and wet when we went, because it had just been raining, but it was still a lot of fun! You get a great video of the river and see some rapids. Some parts of the trail are a bit challenging but not too bad overall. Some people go bouldering here too, by the looks of the chalk on some of the rocks!

    Beautiful network of hiking trails in a forest right in the Niagara Gorge. The entrance to the park is very accessible via the WEGO bus. The whole trip is very beautiful and like no other hike Iโ€™ve been on. Very unique landscape. The trail can be a little challenging so come with water and proper footwear. Amazing hike.

    We had an amazing time hiking the Glen, when we come back we will be here again. There are the CLEANEST public bathrooms I've ever been in at a park, and I hike a lot! It's April so there isn't much open but the bathrooms. There's a big picnic area with tables overlooking the gorge and river. We hiked down the metal staircase to get to the trails, hiked along the Cliffside trail to cobblestone to the riverside trail to the end and back. About 3 hours we were there. When the cobblestone ends at river trail it's very steep but if you turn left and hike down a ways eventually you can hike down right up to the rivers edge, so nice. The trails are moderate to expert in some spots, there are very steep rock steps down so be prepared and wear the right shoes. This place is so worth it.

    Its a wonder hike, we have been there twice , has multiple trails and loops , we did the longest one starting right from the stairs, i love the whirlpool loop, one can get beautiful views and also sit near water on stones. Thereโ€™s not much parking in front of niagara glen, we parked in butterfly conservatory area which is paid parking , was 15$ for 4 hours. 4 hours is enough time to enjoy food and have entire loop done with breathtaking views
