    The biggest lake in the world. I have had the chance to visit few places around it. Beautiful beaches beautiful nature . In Some locations you could be lucky enough to see the northern lights. I would visit mainly in summer. Plan a long trip because it is huge.

    Oh it’s beautiful during the summers you can go licensed fishing around , swim in the lake shore and what not! It’s better if you can carry your travel kit of barbecue and enjoy it even more. Thé location is different from what you see on the maps due to difference in area and driveways . Take the best route or let the route take you and move along as far as your enjoying

    Lake Ontario is a nice place if you want to relax and enjoy the tranquility of Mother Nature. Although I highly recommend going to the Lake during winter as it is usually frozen. But, if that’s your thing by all means go for it.

    A beautiful lake and the beach. The water is knee-high so I you want the deeper plunge you need to follow a few people who know the lake better. There is a life-guarded area as well. In the vicinity you can find restrooms and you can get snacks as well. There is yet no restaurant though.

    Visited lake Ontario from the Mississauga side on a weekend and the parking was almost full. It was pleasant weather at the lake and felt as though you were at a seashore with mini waves.If the weather is clear you can even see the CN tower. The place had restrooms and small food cart eateries(I had vegetarian hotdogs but the soya was bland).
