We Welcome Our New Members!Port Colborne

Two trails terminate in Port Colborne, both of which form part of the Greater Niagara Circle Route. These are excellent, paved, multi-used trails passing by some of the best scenery in southern Niagara, including the historic Welland Canal. Great for walking, cycling, skating, or wheeling. Click on the name of each trail to view their respective web-pages. More trails on website.

Greater Niagara Circle RouteThe Greater Niagara Circle Route
The Greater Niagara Circle Route is a paved, multi-use trail that connects Port Colborne, Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake, St. Catharines, Thorold, and Welland in a 140 km circuit. It is made up of several different trails. In Port Colborne, the Welland Canals Parkway, which runs on a north/south axis from Welland, and the Friendship Trail, which runs on an east/west axis from Fort Erie, both meet at Seaway Park. A spur of the trail runs along the Port Promenade, parallel to Historic West Street, and terminates at scenic HH Knoll Park.

Support Toronto Trails Committee and Welland East Side Trails - from Ontario Trails

More Information





































 
Many volunteers worked hard for the last 21 years with the Seaway Commission and the Niagara Region to develop the East Side Canal Trail. This trail is a vital segment of the larger Greater Niagara Circle Route Trail. Without this link, and City of Welland Support the entire 160km loop is at risk of closure. Thorold, Port Robinson, Port Colborne, Niagara on the Lake, Niagara Falls, Stephensville, Fort Erie, St. Catharines are at risk of having over $10.6million of federal, provincial and private sector money invested in developing and maintaining this tourism and local community trail; being wasted!

Supporters

Reasons for signing

  • Charles Levere ST CATHARINES, CANADA
    I walk along this trail many times throught the year
  • Jo-Ann Kinnear PORT ROBINSON, CANADA
    I use this trail all the time with my two sons, age 8 and age 5. It would be a great disappointment if we didn't have the east side of the canal to enjoy the outdoors!!
  • myself, my daughter, my son, my girlfriend, and her two children all use this trail on a regular basis for trail riding, we operate properly licensed and insured off road bikes, its an amaxzing family outdoor activity for which the opportunities are sadly shrinking
  • Frank Hagar STONEY CREEK, CANADA
    Maintaining a place where people can enjoy the city and participate in some physical activity.
  • There are very few places a family can go in the area to enjoy their offroading recreational time. It's been a wonderful way for my daughter and I to see nature, have adventures and allows her to also enjoy a common enjoyment with her father. Not many girls have that. Let us continue to legally enjoy the Eastside Trail System. Not just us but the many other families we have come across who also enjoy spending time in this way.

Here's what some folks who like this trail have to say about it:

Jeromy Purnell NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, CANADA
It such a great place to enjoy various outdoor activities that may not be possible elsewhere.

Amber Gilbert FENWICK, CANADA
I enjoy riding my horse with friends on the East side canal trail

Brad Seburn ST.CATHARINES, CANADA
Its taking away a massive amount of land for friends and families to enjoy with a variety of activities.

Chris S ST CATHARINES, CANADA
This is important to me because of the dwindling area to safely ride dirt bikes in the Niagara region. There needs to be a safe, LEGAL place to participate in this type of activity and this area is perfect!

Sharon schmidt KITCHENER, CANADA
I grew up in the Niagara Region and this trail adds to the quality of life, makes me want to visit again and again

Niagara Trails Committee WELLAND, CANADA
Many members of the Ontario Trails Council supported the development of this trail over the years. not enough has been done to support users in supporting this trail
