Lake Ontario - The name of the lake is derived from Skanadario, an Iroquois word meaning either "beautiful lake" or "sparkling water". The Canadian province of Ontario was later named after the lake.

It is the smallest of the Great Lakes and is the 14th largest lake in the world. Lake Ontario connects the Great Lakes with the 1000 Islands and the St. Lawrence River and is joined to Lake Erie by the Niagara River and Welland Canal.

For the experienced sailor seeking an interesting location to settle into after spending the day on the lake, the Niagara Region may have exactly what you’re looking for? In late spring, the Niagara New Vintage Festival showcases more than 30 wineries and welcomes visitors to Ontario’s fine wine country. The region celebrates the rebirth of the vineyards by presenting the first taste of Ontario’s newest wines.
