"It may not offer much in the way of mountain views, but the Merritt Trail has something else going for it - history.
Though much of it is wedged between a four-lane highway and what appears to be an irrigation ditch, the Merritt Trail is actually an 11K-long museum. Located in the heart of post-industrial St. Catharines, the stone dust trail follows the route of the first and second Welland Canals - the 19th -century waterways that bypassed Niagara Falls and carried schooners and early steamboats up the 100-metre-high Niagara Escarpment."
