Park Type: Day Use Activities: Concerts, hiking trails, fishing, performing arts theater, picnicing, cross-country skiing. Park Fees: Not listed Background: The area occupied by Artpark has roots dating back over 2000 years. Native Indians, and later European explorers, used the area as a portage site to get around Niagara Falls. With the Niagara Gorge being relatively shallow at this point, explorers navigated up a gulley from river's edge to the lower plateau, then further up the Niagara Escarpment, enabling them to find a way around Niagara Falls. A native Indian burial mound is also located on the grounds. Link to Park: [Web Link] Additional Entrance Points: N 43° 10.165 W 079° 01.930 Date Established?: Not listed
