Nature
The Niagara region is surrounded by wondrous natural beauty, providing an opportunity to slow your pace and "smell the roses".
Niagara Falls parks, trails and gardens are easily
accessible to biking, hiking, walking - or even just a nice afternoon picnic.
The Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens offers 40 hectares (99 acres) of beautifully maintained gardens to explore and is home to
the Butterfly Conservatory, providing a truly
enriching experience for all seasons. And the heart of Niagara parks, Queen Victoria Park celebrates every season in style with a visual
spectacle, from daffodils and tulips in spring to tree
branches covered with the freezing mist of the Falls in winter.
Niagara gardens such as the Parks Floral Showcase,
Centennial Lilac Garden, Dufferin Islands, Oakes Garden Theatre, and Queenston Heights Park provide inspiration and delight.
Whether by foot or bike, discover 56 kilometers (35 miles) of historical and horticultural sights along the Niagara River
Recreational Trail, described by Sir Winston Churchill as "the prettiest Sunday afternoon drive in the world." The
Recreational Trail connects Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake, meandering through parkland with views of the Niagara River and
winding past places of historical and cultural interest, Niagara Falls wineries and beautiful homes and
inns.
