HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

The 4th in a series of hikes looking into the history of the Welland Canal. Port Dalhousie is a beautiful town that comes alive in the summer. We will walk past boats in the marinas, possible rowers on the Henley course, and very nice park lands. And of course, some history of the early days of the Welland Canal.
