Touring the Twelve - Parts I and II |
This ambitious two-part tour takes you the full length of the Twelve Mile Creek watershed. You will see its fragile headwaters, which shelter the last remaining natural trout streams in Niagara, and the forested lands, agricultural fields, vineyards, suburbs, busy cityscapes, and industrial areas which border the creek. You'll end up at Martindale Pond in Port Dalhousie, the site of the world-renowned annual Royal Canadian Henley Regatta.
