When a new boat owner from Toronto first buys some small boat insurance in Ontario, they’re itching to get out on the waters – and usually Lake Ontario is their first destination.
For many, it’s enough just to get out on the water and gaze back on the amazing Toronto skyline. (Hey, we’re a little biased.) However, eventually the urge to hit the waters for real kicks in, and it’s time to go exploring.
You certainly can’t see all of Lake Ontario in a day, but there are plenty of must-see sights for day trips!
Must-See Features Around Lake Ontario
- Niagara-on-the-Lake
Often overshadowed by nearby Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake is considered by many to be one of the loveliest towns in Ontario… or anywhere Canada. This town goes beyond “picturesque” into downright storybook territory. With plenty of quaint shops, historic buildings, and walks around the town and surrounding multicolored forest, it’s an absolute must-see.
- Krull Park
Located on the New York side of the Niagara, Krull Park offers some of the best views of Lake Ontario you’ll find anywhere. This 325-acre park offers a wide range of activities from sports to hiking, as well as the famous Olcott Lighthouse. Olcott Beach is also a highly-popular destination, a lovely white-sand beach that’s perfect for relaxing. This is one of the best lesser-known destinations in the area, and usually isn’t too crowded.
- Scarborough Bluffs
A true “geological wonder” in North America, the Scarborough Bluffs are a truly awe-inspiring sight that are worth cruising past at least once or twice. These white escarpments span 15km, and at their highest tower over 90 meters above the sea. Numerous parks have been established throughout the escarpment, meaning you have plenty of choices in landings that offer nature hikes, picnic/camping opportunities, and more.
