The Merritt Trail begins at Bradley Street in south St. Catharines and continues through to Martindale Road in West St. Catharines, and connects with the Green Ribbon Trail. The Merritt Trail is an historic trek across land that has a natural beauty all of its own. Some sections of the trail are intermittent, therefore, if you wish to follow the trail from beginning to end it is advisable to pick up a map. History enthusiasts will thoroughly enjoy viewing many of the old sections of the once active second Welland Canal. Stonedust provides an ideal pathway for foot travellers and bicyclists alike.
