Hiking In A Prehistoric Forest Where Niagara Falls Once Existed - Niagara Glen Nature Reserve 2025

Welcome!

Today we are going on a hiking adventure to a place to explore the beauty of nature at the Niagara Glen Nature Reserve.

Discover some of nature’s most beautiful and mysterious creations at the Niagara Glen. Located deep in the Niagara Gorge, stairways lead to four kilometres (2.5 miles) of rugged hiking paths that wind through this pristine pocket of Carolinian Forest, past prehistoric geological formations, wild flora and fauna. The Niagara Glen overlooks the rapid waters of the Niagara River and the natural phenomenon that is the Niagara River Whirlpool.

Explore 400 million years of natural history
One of the last remaining remnants of old growth Carolinian Forest in Niagara, the Niagara Glen features some of the largest trees of their kind and is home to approximately 490 species of vulnerable plants and animals.

The large boulders found in the Niagara Glen are relics of the rapid erosion that occurred, and continues to occur, along the Niagara River. The fossils you may find during your visit showcase a diverse collection of marine life indicating that the rocks in this area formed in an ancient sea. Delicate mosses and ferns can also be found throughout the Niagara Glen. They grow on boulders, cliff walls and the ground.
They also have audio available for self guided tours at the Niagara Glen Nature Centre.

Hope you enjoy the walk 😊
