A
local
favourite.
Parking
and
visitor
centre
are
within
easy
reach
of
trails.
There
are
multiple
trails
to
explore.
Nature
Trail,
River
Trail,
Whirlpool
Trail,
Boulder
Trail,
and
others
all
offer
a
variety
of
distance,
strength,
and
pacing.
These
trails
are
intended
for
those
aware
of
risk
or
understand
a
variety
of
trail
conditions.
Rain,
ice,
snow,
and
melt
all
create
hazardous
conditions
not
suitable
for
young,
independent
explorers.
From
November
to
May
the
Whirlpool
Trail
is
often
closed
because
of
high
water
conditions
on
the
Niagara
River.
At
no
point
should
you
explore
or
wade
into
the
Niagara
River.
In
fact,
several
lives
have
been
lost
because
visitors
did
not
appreciate
or
understand
the
risks.
If
heights
scare
you
be
mindful
of
staircases
and
ledges.
The
natural
history
and
geology
of
the
reserve
offers
climbers
the
chance
to
boulder.
In
the
summer,
cool
caves
and
tree
cover
make
a
great
place
to
hide
from
the
heat.
Get
yourself
an
annual
Niagara
Parks
Parking
Pass
($75
CAD)
and
enjoy
the
convenient
parking
all
year.
This
pass
let’s
you
park
in
any
of
the
Park’s
parking
lots
for
a
full
year
from
date
of
purchase.
The
Niagara
Glen
Nature
reserve
also
is
a
great
place
to
fish
during
migration
periods
(spring
&
fall).
This
place
is
also
home
to
some
of
the
most
ancient
trees
and
woodlands
in
Canada.
Please
don’t
pollute.
Only
take
photos
and
leave
only
a
sense
of
gratitude.
This
is
a
national
treasure.
