For centuries, visitors from around the world have been drawn to the shores of the Niagara River to witness the grandeur of Niagara Falls firsthand. Since our establishment in 1885, Niagara Parks’ environmental stewardship responsibilities have grown far beyond the brink of the Horseshoe Falls. Today, our ribbon of parkland stretches 56 kilometres along the Niagara River, from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, and features natural attractions, locally sourced restaurants, Audubon certified golf courses, restored heritage sites and world-renowned gardens and greenspaces.
