Start Point is In the Town of Fort Erie at Old Fort Erie. Head north on Niagara Parkway all the way up to the ending point which is the Prince of Wales Hotel in Niagara-On-The-Lake.

Scenery

The route starts at Old Fort Erie, which offers a rich historical experience. There are picnic areas to stop at and enjoy some down time, as well as tours available. Heading north along the Niagara River, offers views of New York State and the Niagara River Bank. As you approach Niagara Falls you will be surrounded by tall trees, with patches of sunlight trickling through the branches. The trees subside and open to reveal the Niagara Skyline.

Following the winds of the road, to the right side you will see the grand wonders of Niagara Falls as the mist kisses your face. Continuing further north you will see the Niagara Rapids and the cliff line of the Niagara Gorge. Upon entering Queenston, you will see the Brock Monument, which is on the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. Be sure to stop, climb the tower and enjoy the view. Continue down the Escarpment, passing Fort George, you will enter the quaint town of Niagara-On-The-Lake. Niagara-On-The-Lake offers one of a kind shopping and dining experiences as well as many wineries.

A beautiful ride along the river road maintained by the Niagara Parks Commission. From Fort Erie to Niagara-On-The-Lake, the length of the Niagara River with the Falls in the middle. Expect tourist traffic in the summer and ride at dawn or dusk for some amazing sunrise and sunsets. I live here and ride this weekly just to relax and enjoy the lush landscape and gardens along the way.

A pretty ride, abounds with stunning beauty. Niagara Falls has tremendous falls, and well worth a visit. Park you bike at Niagara-On-The-Lake (NOTL) and spend a few hours visiting this 19th century village. Unique shopping, great eating, and a very pretty place.
