Lake Ontario Shoreline Trail |
Continuing from the heart of the the mostly residential North St. Catharines, this trail section brings Waterfront Trail users to the east border of St. Catharines, passing through the naturalized Mary Malcomson Eco-Park and to the most northern point of the Welland Canal in Port Weller. Trail users will get a glimpse of a restored carolinian forest stand and meadowland before reaching Port Weller's popular birdwatching location at the canal entrance. At the end of the trail is Happy Rolph's Bird Sanctuary, a naturalized area on the Rolph farmland. The Lake Ontario Shoreline Trail forms part of the Waterfront Trail.
