Things to do
Two shores filled with attractions on Lake Ontario
Lake Ontario's duo of shores means there are oodles of things to see. You could bag yourself Lake Ontario vacation rentals in Canada to explore the wonders of Toronto – the CN Tower, the prestigious Royal Ontario Museum. Lake Ontario vacation rentals on the beach at the Sandbanks Provincial Park offer sunset viewing and swimming spots just meters from your bed. Then there are the stays on the southern shores and New York banks, which place you within striking distance of Niagara-on-the-Lake and its Victorian shops, the roaring Niagara Falls – a must – and the Niagara Wine Region alike.
Activities
There's loads to do in Lake Ontario
There's one sure way to see all 7,300 square kilometers of Lake Ontario in one fell swoop: by air. These days, everything from hot air balloons to private small plane charters to whizzing helicopters can take you up into the skies to do just that – they say the Niagara Falls look even more dramatic from above. Sticking to the water is also a favorite. The New York shores are peppered with oodles of private fishing charters, and you can kayak your way between the Thousand Islands. Then there's the history exhibits, with everything from guided walks through old 1812 forts to First Nation reserves over in Canada.
Weather
From spring sunshine to winter snow in Lake Ontario
If it's glimpses of the crashing Horshoe Falls at Niagara you're after, be sure to hold off on that vacation to Ontario until the spring, summer, or fall months. That's when the ice melts and the waterfalls are in full flow. Those times – between May and September – are also the best for lazing on the dune-backed beaches of the Canadian shores, or for touring the streets of Toronto. Winter, in December, January, and March, is largely reserved for the cross-country skiers, or those who want to see a different, "wonderland" side to the region.
Natural features
Lake Ontario is sprawling
Lake Ontario covers a massive 7,340 square miles of land between the United States and Canada. Around its borders are all sorts of state and national parks. There are the iconic Niagara Falls, one of the natural wonders of North America. There are the Thousand Islands, dotting the St Lawrence River with their wooded bays. There are the Prince Edward Sand Banks, rising and falling in yellow tones along shores washed over by the Ontario waves.
