Introducing Lake Erie Shoreline

Show mapClose map

From the Welland Canal to the Detroit River, the Lake Erie shoreline is a scenic, thinly populated strip of sandy beaches, chilled-out towns and peaceful parks – no wonder so many Ontarians have summer cottages here. Lake Erie (the shallowest and warmest of the Great Lakes) has long been considered a polluted puddle, but recent environmental efforts have brought it back from the brink. You can swim here now, but it’s still wise to look before you leap (or send your kid brother in first). Don’t miss a visit to the lowest of low-key holiday destinations, Pelee Island, Canada’s southernmost land.
