Brydges State Park

Earl W.

Brydges Artpark State Park offers scenic access to the lower Niagara River with two main trails: the Artpark Gorge Trail (moderate difficulty with views of the river and gorge) and the River's Edge Trail (easy, popular with anglers for salmon and lake trout fishing).

The park features a gravel parking lot at the trailhead (approximately 10 spaces) plus a larger lot near facilities, with well-maintained gravel and dirt trails, though a steep stone staircase connects the upper and lower sections; note that the river current is strong and dangerous for water entry, and there is no direct water access for paddling.
