Lake Ontario Lighthouses
Visiting
Lake Ontario lighthouses, whether by driving and biking on land or sailing and boating across Lake Ontario, is an adventure in history that requires traveling through two countries. Many of the lighthouses in Lake Ontario mark the St.
Lawrence Seaway
where international commerce moves from the Atlantic Ocean, through the
St. Lawrence River,
Lake Ontario, and
Welland Canal to the other four Great Lakes and the industrial heartland of the United States. The Lake Ontario lighthouses are located in five distinct regions:

Lake Ontario lighthouse visitors should be prepared to see beautiful seasonal colors, particularly, in the autumn and bring binoculars for
birding. They will also be able to go bicycling, canoeing, padding, scuba diving, kayaking, hiking, and fishing between lighthouse visits. Throughout Canada and New York, visitors will find challenging
golf courses
open to the public. Because the Lake Ontario lighthouse tours brings visitors close to the
Adirondack Mountains, year round recreational opportunities are available, including hunting, fishing, backpacking, camping, and skiing.
