Directions to Niagara Falls
Driving Directions
Most approaches to Niagara Falls are east-west oriented with the exception of
the Niagara Parkway, a scenic route that follows the Canadian side of the
Niagara River from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie.
One of the main routes to Niagara is via the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) through
to Hwy 420. The QEW originates in Toronto and skirts around the west side of
Lake Ontario through to Niagara Falls, where it interchanges with Hwy 420 and
other major streets. The QEW continues south and terminates at the Peace Bridge
between Fort Erie, Ontario and Buffalo, New York.
Approaching Niagara from the east, traffic from the US side crosses to Canada
via four toll bridges:
the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, which completes international expressways (north
of the Falls)
the Whirlpool Bridge, slightly north of downtown and the Falls
the Rainbow Bridge, in the heart of the sightseeing area at the Falls
and the Peace Bridge, between Buffalo, NY and Fort Erie, Ontario (south of
Niagara Falls).
