Things to do in Beamsville and Lincoln
Niagara · Friends · Family · Outdoors · Rainy day
The best things to do in Beamsville and the rest of Lincoln are the waterfalls and historic village at Ball's Falls, the Bruce Trail at Mountainview, the lakefront at Charles Daley Park, the Lincoln Museum and a morning in Jordan Village.
Lincoln runs from the escarpment down to Lake Ontario, between Grimsby and St. Catharines, so most of these are ten minutes apart.
Here's where to spend a day.
