Trip Rating: 4.25/5 

Fort Erie is situated on the extreme east tip of the Niagara Peninsula, directly across the Niagara River from Buffalo, New York. Originally settled by Loyalists forces in the late 1700’s, the town has been responsible for much of the history in the establishment of Canada as a sovereign nation, defending the country from American advances. The abundant forests and location along Black Creek fostered a large timber and mill trade. Today, it is home to many cottages and mansions. The Black Creek is a very interesting paddle, from the tee off to the Beaver Creek, the flat grasslands of the International Country Club of Niagara, the United Empire Loyalist Conservation Area, and stretching all the way to the Stevensville Conservation Area, you can do this trip 10 times and still discover new things.
