It was another beautiful day, so we decided to ride our bicycles to Niagara Falls for the fourth time. We just can't get enough, apparently.


We started in Buffalo at the Peace Bridge (which goes to/from Canada).

We stopped for a selfie at the Tribute Gardens in Isle View Park near Tonawanda.

Niawanda Park in Tonawanda

Our lunch spot in Tonawanda, where the Erie Canal joins the Niagara River.

Passing Raymond Klimek Veterans Park, which has memorial to the Marines and the Navy Seabees.

Gratwick Riverside Park has nice picnic spots and pavilions where they have free concerts during the summer.

First sight of the mist from the falls, as seen from the 53rd Street Fisherman's Park.

The trail goes by the water intake station for the power plant.

View of the rapids and Shoreline Trail at the south end of Niagara Falls State Park.

We stopped in briefly at the Welcome Center for Niagara Falls State Park. It has a restaurant and gift shop, plus some history of the area.

The view from Stedman's Bluff of Luna Island, American Falls, Observation Tower, and Rainbow Bridge.


The Nikola Tesla statue at Stedman's Bluff was super popular.

The view from Luna Island.

Looking down from Luna Island at the people on the walkways for Cave of the Winds.

The North Shore Trail on Goat Island.

We paid the small fee to access the Observation Tower, and this is the view from the outermost deck. You can see the trail to the Crow's Nest near the base of the American Falls.

One last pic of the falls from the Observation Deck before dinner at an Indian buffet, then the nice, long bike ride home.

Finally, here is the nice Relive video of our route with photos:
