Description

This series of 3 hikes is a joint effort of NBTC and the Lincoln Museum to introduce hikers to the Niagara Benchlands area.  We will complete the Ball’s Falls hike first, then move to the town of Jordan and explore the historical homes in town as well as the Museum. Art Lives Here is a community wide festival and art trail that celebrates the vibrant arts and culture offerings of Lincoln on the weekend June 21, 22 & 23. Costumed interpreters will be onsite at the schoolhouse that weekend to add to the fun.

After these 2 sections are completed, hikers will have the option to 1) continue to Mountainview Conservation to complete the third hike with the hike leader or 2) complete this hike independently when convenient.  If #2 is the choice, then hikers will need to submit the required information independently to receive the badge.

If completing all 3 hikes, then badges will be available after the third hike.  Members $10, Non members $15

Niagara-on-the-Lake Tour

Hosting Club: Niagara
Category: Urban
Location (Google Maps): Park on King St near Centre St, at the entrance to Veteran’s Memorial Park, Niagara-on-the-Lake

Hike Leader(s): Margaret Northfield Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)

Pace: Medium
Terrain: Easy
Distance: 6-7 km

Description

Each Friday we will explore different neighbourhoods, trails and parkland throughout Historic Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Moderate pace with some weeks entirely on sidewalks and roads while others may include a mix of trails and paved pathways. Great way to build up endurance for longer more strenuous hikes.

Prepare for cooler windy conditions on open parkland and along Lake Ontario and Niagara River trails.

Plan to stay for conversation and a warm cup of coffee or tea at Sweets & Swirls, Community Centre, Niagara Stone Road, NOTL
