More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start with mist on your face and the steady percussion of water — Horseshoe Falls breathing like a living engine. The app nudges you toward Table Rock; clues tangle with plaques, staircases and panoramic overlooks as the city folds around the river. Walkers, families and curious teams scatter across Queen Victoria Park while the Niagara River dares you to look over the rail and trace the current downstream.

History
This route crosses land long used by Indigenous nations; later 19th‑century tourism and early hydroelectric development shaped the modern visitor experience, with inventors like Nikola Tesla leaving an industrial legacy.
Conservation
Stick to marked paths, avoid trampling plantings in parks, and pack out trash; visitor pressure around viewpoints is high, so minimize impact and respect fenced-off areas.
