Niagara Falls 3-Day Trip from Pittsburgh 🚗🌊

Catching the last glow of summer on a road trip from Pittsburgh to Niagara Falls — mist, night breeze, city lights, and fireworks made it pure magic ✨ Day 1️⃣: Pittsburgh → Niagara Falls Stayed at Four Mile Creek Campground ⛺️ 🚗 Left around noon — about a 4-hour drive. 💡 Pro tip: Park at Goat Island — it’s walkable to all the major falls viewpoints! ⛺️ The campground was clean with flush toilets, hot showers, and coin laundry. They even gave us a free Niagara Park parking pass! Day 2️⃣: Niagara Falls → Oakville Shopping → Canadian Side Night View 🚢 Took the Maid of the Mist boat tour — the U.S. side has shorter lines! 🌊 🛍️ Drove to Oakville Outlets for some shopping 🛒 🍽️ Had dinner on the Canadian side 🎆 Watched the night illumination and fireworks over the falls — absolutely dreamy! Day 3️⃣: Niagara → Erie → Pittsburgh 💦 Stopped by Erie on the way back — perfect for a lakeside stroll and a breezy picnic 🍃 🚗 Drove back to Pittsburgh in the afternoon, wrapping up a perfect summer mini-vacation 🧡 Tips & Highlights 🚗 4-hour drive each way — recommend switching drivers if possible. 🅿️ Arrive early for parking at State Parks — Goat Island is a good backup. 🛶 Maid of the Mist is a must! Don’t miss the light show and fireworks at night. 🌲 Love hiking? Try Niagara Glen or Devil’s Hole Trail — options for all fitness levels. A perfect summer finale with waterfalls and fireworks 🌈💥 #NiagaraFalls #RoadTrip #PittsburghTravel #SummerTrips #TravelGuide #WaterfallViews #Fireworks #USATravel #NatureGetaway 🚙📸
