Erie Canalway Trail (Buffalo Harbor State Park to Hertel Avenue)

Starting with a detour on public roads around a long-term project in LaSalle Park this stage continues under the Peace Bridge (which provides a walk and cycle way to Canada) and then on a state-of-the-art protected cycle track.

This 12.8 km route makes for a full-day commitment — bring sufficient food and water. Plan for around 2 hours and 51 minutes on the trail.

Point-to-point in layout, this trail takes you from A to B across the landscape. Consider your return logistics before heading out. Follow the ECT waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
