It doesn’t appear in any of the “official” listings of The Great Lakes, since it’s only about 1/17th the size of Lake Ontario, but for those in the know Lake St. Clair might as well be another Great Lake. Even if it’s on the small side.  

Lake St. Clair is highly popular with our clients buying cruiser insurance in Ontario, thanks to its beautiful freshwater boating and multitude of sights to see along the way. In particular, it’s home to Grand Bend, a great tourist destination that was once one of the ‘best kept secrets’ anywhere in the Great Lakes.  At least until that MTV show happened.

But even now, it’s a great destination and well worth checking out.

Getting to Know Lake St. Clair And Grand Bend

With a size that’s only a bit more than 21 square nautical miles, Lake St. Clair isn’t nearly as imposing as the other Great Lakes. You can see much of it in a day, and the majority over a weekend. That’s one of the reasons it’s such a nice destination – you can take in so much of what it has to offer, and still have time to get back to work on Monday.

As a somewhat-isolated inland freshwater lake, the fishing is absolutely amazing. Many consider it one of the best fishing spots anywhere in North America. Just be careful to stay within your catch limit – authorities on both sides of the border keep close watch to prevent overfishing.

While you’re there, you should also explore Grand Bend. This historic town features a range of shopping options by day, and a night life that has helped Grand Bend become known as “Florida north”. If you want to get off the boat and stretch your legs at stylish nightclubs, Grand Bend is definitely a stopover worth making.  

But if dancing isn’t for you, there’s plenty of nature trails at nearby Pinery Provincial Park.
