Description
The Niagara River Recreational trail, which we will follow, is a paved path, with grass on both sides. Walkers/Hikers will go at their own pace and turn around after 90 minutes. At a brisk pace of 4-5 km/hour hikers should reach the Whirlpool Aero Car parking lot (and then retrace their steps).
Trail runners or running shoes are recommended. Consider using hiking poles to promote blood flow through your hands and/or to help you establish a consistent rhythm (which can increase your speed). Carry water and snacks as needed.
Note: There may not be any washrooms open along this route. They are available at Queenston Heights Park, across the road from where we will park.
Plan to be ready to leave promptly at 8:30.
