The Niagara region is one of Canada’s most productive fruit-growing areas. Strolling along country roads lined with farms and orchards, you’ll see ripe peaches, plums, and grapes hanging from the trees and smell the sweet fragrance of the harvest in the air—you’ll truly understand why it’s called a Fruit Paradise. To make the most of the short harvest season, let’s hike the Niagara section of the Bruce Trail and if you are interested, visit local farms afterward—perhaps even enjoy some fruit picking!

The Niagara region is one of Canada’s most productive fruit-growing areas. Strolling along country roads lined with farms and orchards, you’ll see ripe peaches, plums, and grapes hanging from the trees and smell the sweet fragrance of the harvest in the air—you’ll truly understand why it’s called a Fruit Paradise. To make the most of the short harvest season, let’s hike the Niagara section of the Bruce Trail and if you are interested, visit local farms afterward—perhaps even enjoy some fruit picking! This is the third of a five-hike End-to-End series covering the entire Niagara section of the Bruce Trail. The full section stretches over 80 kilometers from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Grimsby. I am using Map Edition 29, so please note that kilometer markings may not be fully up to date, and actual hiking distances may vary slightly.
