The Niagara Escarpment is one of Canada's most scenic landscapes - a rich mosaic of dolostone cliffs, forests, rivers, wildlife habitats, agricultural areas, cities and hamlets winding 725 km through the Province of Ontario.

A UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the Niagara Escarpment formed over 450 million years ago as the outer rim of a shallow sea known as the Michigan Basin.

The Niagara Escarpment is home to 300 bird species, 53 mammals, 36 reptiles and amphibians, 90 fish and 100 varieties of flora including 37 types of orchids.

Offering some of the province's best hiking, skiing, rock climbing, fishing, boating, camping and swimming, the Niagara Escarpment is also home to the Bruce Trail, Canada's longest footpath.
