Niagara Glen Cleanup Day
May 7, 2022 · 10AM – 2PM
Join us for our annual Niagara Glen Cleanup Day and spend a day exploring and caring for one Southern Ontario’s most beautiful hiking trails. Discover Niagara Parks’ pristine pocket of Carolinian forest while helping to create a greener, healthier Niagara River Corridor! Garbage bags, gloves and a complimentary lunch will be provided. All ages are welcome.
Registration is required for this free event. Please bring a digital or printed copy of your ticket to collect your Cleanup Day supplies and lunch.
Participants are strongly encouraged to dress for the weather, wear proper footwear and bring sufficient water. Complimentary parking will be provided at the Glen.
Keep exploring
Located deep in the Niagara Gorge, stairways lead to 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) of rugged paths that wind through this pristine pocket of Carolinian Forest, past prehistoric geological formations, wild flora and fauna. The Niagara Glen overlooks the rapid waters of the Niagara River and the natural phenomenon that is the Niagara River Whirlpool.

Safety Tips
-
- Know the terrain and know your physical limits.
Some of the trails found throughout the Niagara Glen can be strenuous. Remember, every step you take to descend into the Gorge, is a step you must take to come back up!
-
- Stay away from the water.
The river is beautiful, but it’s fast, it’s deep, and it’s very dangerous. Swimming is NOT permitted.
-
- Leave no trace.
Take only pictures, leave only footsteps. We ask that you do not touch cultural and historic structures or artifacts. Leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you found them.
