This is starting point for the Olympic Torch Run. It is about 1.4 km long, paved and open all year around.
This is an easy walk from downtown Niagara Falls and shows a little of the old part of the city.
Parking is at a municipal lot close by.
The Olympic Torch Run Legacy Trail has an interesting history. As is the norm during the Olympics, the Olympic torch relay is conducted through several places before reaching the Games destination. During the 2010 Winter Olympics, Niagara Falls was labeled a Celebration Community for the torch relay. The Celebration Community tag is due to the fact that the flame stayed longer in the city as compared to other places. And such communities were expected to undertake legacy projects in honor of the torch relay. The Olympic Torch Trail is the legacy that was made to commemorate this piece of history and it continues to benefit locals and visitors alike. The Victoria Ave Pathway is simply an extension of the Olympic Torch Run Legacy Trail into the tourist Mecca of Niagara Falls.
