NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE was named the "prettiest" town in Canada in 1996. This small historic town is located at the mouth of the NIAGARA RIVER and LAKE ONTARIO.

NIAGARA FALLS, and its new Casino and many tourist attractions are a beautiful 20 minute drive along the scenic Niagara Parkway that follows the NIAGARA RIVER and connects our towns.

NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE was the first capital of Upper Canada before the government was relocated to TORONTO which is about 1 1/2 hours away. The town was left with many historic homes of substance and an adorable main street called Queen Street. The town is home of the SHAW FESTIVAL’S three theatres and boast to have one of the finest acting ensembles in North America. Due to this clientele you will find Niagara-on-the-Lake and its many shops and restaurants to be first class compared to the glitz of Niagara Falls.

Historians enjoy FORT GEORGE and visiting an area that is rich in military history due to the war of 1812. THE WELLAND CANAL is central to our history. It provides the only link for international shipping between the GREAT LAKES and the Atlantic Ocean. There is a nice viewing station at lock three, about ten minutes from here.

Mother Nature has blessed NIAGARA with a micro climate that has given us a sampling of most fruits and vegetables in season. There are dozens of wineries that encourage tours and tasting. You will find our restaurant food is of excellent quality. A few wineries also offer fine dining experiences. Fruits and vegetable stands dot the countryside.

RELAX THE MIND AND REJUVENATE THE SOUL. Walk, cycle or roller blade along the river's recreational trail or leisurely stroll our tree lined streets and take time to smell the flowers. Visit Niagara-on-the-Lake and enjoy the sights and tastes.
