Friendship Trail

The Friendship Trail extends 16 kms across the Town of Fort Erie, running parallel to the north shore of Lake Erie. Beginning at the Port Colborne border in the west, this relaxing and picturesque trail takes visitors through lush farmland, quaint villages, pristine watersheds, and quiet residential areas, leading to historic Old Fort Erie, Lake Erie, and the Niagara River Recreation Trail.

Much of the trail is located upon an abandoned rail line, meaning it is relatively level and smooth - an easy ride for children and adults alike. The trail is used by walkers, hikers, cyclists and rollerbladers in the summer, and hikers and cross-country skiers in the winter. Of course, the trail is also wheelchair accessible.

Providing views of the Buffalo Skyline on the horizon, the Friendship Trail extends 17 km eastward across picturesque Six Mile Creek and through quiet residential streets, leading to historic Old Fort Erie, waterfront parks along Lake Erie, and the Niagara River Recreation Trail beyond. The majority of the trail is relatively level and smooth, making it easy to walk and ride for children and adults alike.
