Niagara Falls Canada Walking Tour

A nice drive through. Lights are beautiful. Please visit late at night so that you can park and walk around and enjoy the time. Recommend the place but definitely during the holidays.

Visited Dufferin Island and was blown away by the natural beauty of the place. The island is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some peace and quiet. The nature is incredible, with lush greenery and a variety of wildlife. I particularly enjoyed the walking trails and the scenic views of the Niagara River. The park has plenty of amenities such as picnic tables, and parking. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Dufferin Island and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing day out in nature.

Nice place to go for a walk with nature so close to all the tacky touristy stuff in Niagara Falls.  Lots of water fowl and the chickadees are very friendly so make sure you bring nuts and seeds for them.  No salt of course.

Love this place! it's nice to walk around. Lots of wildlife.
Please don't feed them !
Lots of parking
Festival of lights in the winter is beautiful
As a local this is one of my fav places 😀

Dufferin Islands

The Dufferin Islands are located a short distance away from Niagara’s famous waterfalls. The Islands are connected by wooden footbridges and span over 10 acres. You’ll be surprised by the peaceful serenity of the Islands, given their close proximity to Niagara’s famous waterfalls. Here you will find many walking trails, benches and picnic tables. For those who love exploring the outdoors in a relaxed setting, we would definitely recommend a visit to the Dufferin Islands. The Dufferin Islands are family friendly as well. Most of the walking trails are flat so it is easily accessible to those with strollers and/or wheelchairs. The Dufferin Islands are open all year-round. Between November and December, you can enjoy displays from the Winter Festival of Lights here.

The remaining wreckage of the scow sitting close to the top of the Horseshoe Falls stems back to 1918.
Sometime between late October 31st and the morning of November 1st, 2019 the Scow flipped over onto its side and moved about 50m due to high winds in the Niagara River. This was the first time the Old Scow had moved in over 100 years!  One of our tour guides spotted the scow on its side during a morning tour on November 1st and was able to capture some footage which caught the attention of ABC News producers of Good Morning America.
