The Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail stretches approximately 325 kilometres from Trenton to Stoney Creek with new sections in the Niagara Region. It links communities, natural areas, parks and promenades, marinas and yacht clubs, historic places, commercial districts and other trail systems. The trail is co-ordinated by the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, a Provincial Crown Agency, and has been built through partnerships among the private sector, service clubs, volunteers, community groups, conservation authorities and local, provincial and federal governments. The St. Catharines section of the trail is approximately 9 kilometres, stretching from East Port Weller to West Port Dalhousie making use of a combination of city parks and roadways to access as much of the lakefront as possible. It is a multi-use trail suitable for both cyclists and hikers. Please use caution and obey traffic laws when using the roadways.

Attractions along the trail include Royal Canadian Henley Regatta Course, Port Dalhousie Harbour Walkway, Lakeside Park and Carousel, Municipal Beach, the Welland Ship Canal, and Happy Rolph’s Bird Sanctuary.
