Description
This hike is part of the Passport to Nature Series.
It is one of a series of 4 hikes to learn about the 4 Welland Canals that the Niagara Section of the Bruce Trail passes by. This particular hike will take us past both the 3rd and the Present (4th) Canal. It also takes us to the St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre. There is a viewing platform to observe ships in the lock. Just past the Museum, there is also a memorial that commemorates the 138 workers who died building the 4th Canal.
