A. Ontario’s Niagara Escarpment rises wild and beautiful above Ontario’s farmlands, cities and industries. Its mountains, streams, scenic valleys, waterfalls, woodlands and natural areas contain more than 300 birds species, 53 mammals, 90 fish and 37 types of wild orchids, and it is home to the oldest living eastern white cedars in Canada. The Niagara Escarpment has some of Ontario’s best skiing, camping, hiking, four season resorts, boating, swimming, viewing and public recreation opportunities. The Niagara Escarpment is host to the world famous Bruce Trail established in 1967 which contributes over $100 million per year to local and regional economies through tourism.
