Merritt Trail follows Twelve Mile Creek through a long green corridor of forest, wetlands and old industrial infrastructure linking several parks and neighbourhoods. Much of the route runs beside the water on paved and gravel paths, passing wooden bridges, historic remnants of the old Welland Canals and sections shaded by dense tree canopy. Despite running through an urban area, the creek corridor creates a surprisingly peaceful atmosphere, especially around the quieter marsh and riverside sections further from the roads.
