A Scenic Gateway: The Lewiston-Queenston Bridge

Getting There

• Bus

  From Niagara Falls, head to the nearest bus terminal, located at 300 Portage Rd. You can take the Niagara Falls Transit bus number 55 towards the Niagara Falls train station. Once you arrive at the station, transfer to the NFTA (Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority) bus R2. This bus will take you towards the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge. Make sure to check the bus schedule in advance to time your journey properly. After about 30 minutes on the R2 bus, you will reach the stop closest to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge. Disembark at the final stop, and you will see the bridge directly ahead.

• Walking

  If you prefer to walk, start at the Niagara Falls State Park entrance. Head north along the park trail until you reach the intersection with the Robert Moses Parkway. Cross the parkway carefully and continue heading north on the walking path alongside the parkway. This path will eventually lead you towards the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge. Be prepared for a walk of approximately 1.5 miles, which could take about 30-40 minutes. Ensure you have comfortable shoes and are ready for outdoor walking, as this is a scenic route with lovely views.

• Bicycle

  For those who enjoy cycling, start at the Niagara Falls State Park. Rent a bike from a local rental shop if you don’t have one. Cycle north along the scenic bike trails that follow the Niagara River. The route is well-marked and will lead you directly to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge. Expect the ride to take about 20-25 minutes, depending on your speed. The area is bike-friendly, but please stay aware of other cyclists and pedestrians along the route.
