Canadian Connection Big Boon for Buffalo Bikers

I was recently doing a bit of shopping around for a Canadian beach-front rental near Buffalo. In my search I kept reading references to the F ort Erie Friendship Trail .  When I was in high school and college I would often ride my bike up to the Canadian beaches from what we then called the West Side but now call the Elmwood Village.  There were no bike paths in the city and certainly none in Canada.  Much of the ride was pleasant but, often I was forced onto very busy very bike-unfriendly roads. The Friendship Trail runs roughly from the the Peace Bridge to the south end of the Welland Canal hugging the lake shore.  I believe that it is the newest leg of the Greater Niagara Circle Route ,  which is composed of 4 distinct bike paths forming a rough rectangle defining much of the Niagara Region.  In addition to the Friendship Trail along the Lake Erie shore, the Circle Route also includes the "Welland Canals Trail (roughly following its namesake on a north south route), The Waterfront Trail (an east/west leg along Lake Ontario), And the River Recreation Trail ( a north south leg traversing the entire Canadian shore of the Niagara River.  Much of the Circle Route is separated from traffic.  And though it is in Canada, this amazing asset is also extremely accessible to people in Buffalo.  Several trails now available in the city are directly linked to the Peace Bridge with only short stints on city Streets. Within the city a biker can travel within parks and on separated trails from as far as Downtown, The Buffalo Zoo, Tonawanda and beyond to the Erie Canal and Grand Island. My previous experience riding sans bike path in Canada made me curious about the Friendship Trail so I put out a call for some information.  A friend's son, Austin Sanders responded: Following the current of the Niagara river the Niagara River Recreation Trail bends north flowing in the direction of the Falls. Head south and west instead to find the Fort Erie Friendship Trail. This trail wraps along the coastline beneath the Canadian side of the Peace Bridge and beneath the ramparts of the recreated 1812 Fort Erie garrison and the nostalgic flying colors of the Union Jack. Here at the tip of the Niagara Peninsula the Trail bends towards the west, entering the woods behind the ruins of the historic Fort Erie Hotel at Waverly beach.

It’s pretty amazing how much can be packed into one day. After a brief hotel breakfast, we headed to the 9th Street Pier (I think that’s what it is called) on Lake Erie and The Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame.

I expected this to be at most a two hour diversion, but the museum is overwhelming and we spend nearly four hours there. It’s sensory overload, but well worth it. Really, the only disappointment was that someone decided that Taylor Swift deserved to be included in the “Women of Rock” exhibit. (Oh, and someone tell me, what do they have against Elton John? He’s nowhere to be found).
