Niagara River Greenway Plan

Niagara River Greenway Plan

The Niagara River Greenway Plan is a comprehensive plan focusing on the development of a greenway of interconnected parks, river access points and waterfront trails along the right bank of the Niagara River from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie.[1] The plan was drawn up by The Niagara River Greenway Commission, first established in 2004 by then New York state Governor George Pataki.
