Beamer Memorial
Notice
Renowned as the best vantage point in the Niagara Peninsula to observe the annual spring hawk migration, and part of the internationally designated Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve, Beamer Memorial Conservation Area offers one of Niagara’s most breath-taking and panoramic views of the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario.
Take a walk along the scenic Lookout and Bruce Trails and soak up the picturesque views of the 40 Mile Creek Valley, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the escarpment ridge from one of our viewing platforms.

Beamer Memorial qui est une aire de conservation offre une des vues panoramiques les plus spectaculaires de l’escarpement du Niagara et du lac Ontario. Promenez-vous le long du belvédère et du sentier Bruce Trails et appréciez la vue pittoresque de 40 Mile Creek Valley, du rivage du lac Ontario et de la crête de l’escarpement d’un de nos points d’observation.

A NIAGARA GEOSITE
About Niagara Geopark:
The Niagara Peninsula is home to a multitude of natural wonders to be explored and discovered. Geographically situated between two Great Lakes, the Niagara Peninsula Aspiring Global Geopark is the result of 500 million years of natural processes. The evidence of these natural phenomenon can be seen and explored throughout the peninsula at many of Niagara's Geosites. Dominated by the stunning Niagara Escarpment, itself already a designated UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, prepare to be amazed by Niagara's powerful waterfalls, deep gorges and layers of geological Earth history beneath your feet and all around you.
Beamer Memorial Geosite
With 20 Geosites across the Niagara Region, locals and visitors alike can enjoy educational geoheritage experiences including trails, activities, and tours, while indulging in many of Niagara's unique offerings.
While visiting, guests can enjoy the GeoHike of Beamer Memorial, developed by the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (PGO). Take a short hike through the Beamer Memorial Geosite from along the Lookout Trail on the Beamer Memorial Virtual GeoHike! This trail is a lovely half hour-long hike that offers both fascinating ecological and geological sights along the way, terminating at a vista that overlooks the Niagara Escarpment.
Hawkwatch
Each year March 1 marks the beginning of the annual Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch! Since 1975, birdwatchers have been monitoring the annual spring migration of hawks, eagles, falcons, and vultures over the Niagara Peninsula.
The Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch was organized in March of 1990 to:
- Promote the enjoyment of hawkwatching
- Educate people about hawks and hawk migration
- Conduct systematic counts of hawks migrating over the Niagara Peninsula
- Work for the preservation of raptors in Ontario
Members receive two newsletters annually and are invited to participate in the count as often as possible and attend an annual social.
Most hawks, falcons, eagles and vultures are migratory and move south to more moderate climates each fall. Every spring this process reverses and these birds return to Canada to nest and raise their young.
