Driving Tours
If you're taking a road trip with your pals, make the Niagara Parkway part of your trip. Iit's a fun thing to do with friends, especially if you pack a picnic lunch. One of Ontario's most scenic drives, the parkway runs 56 kilometres (35 mi.) between Fort Erie and Niagara-on-the-Lake, paralleling the Niagara River, the falls and expanses of landscaped parkland. Picnic spots, golf courses, gardens and many other attractions border this drive. In the 1940s Winston Churchill described this as “the prettiest Sunday afternoon drive in the world.”
