Thanks for the replies so far, folks! We will likely use NOTL as our starting point, and head for the Falls on the first day. Our energy level will dictate how far we get on the 2nd day, but the canal route sounds inviting. We will definitely check out the Stone Road Grill, thanks!

I took a snapshot of a picturesque hotel in downtown NOTL when I was there last summer; maybe it's the Angel Inn. Nope, I just looked up the pic - It's the Prince of Wales Hotel. Looks expensive!



If memory serves, while walking through town I also saw a place or two to rent bikes. We'll have our own bikes but it's nice to know we're heading somewhere that seems to be bike friendly.
