About Lake Ontario

One of the Great Lakes

Lake Ontario is one of the five famous Great Lakes of North America. It is the fourteenth largest lake globally and covers land in the United States and Canada. Lake Ontario is over four million acres in size, with 634 miles of shoreline, and you won't have any trouble finding your perfect home here.

New York is a famous state to enjoy Lake Ontario's shores, and the state encompasses over 200 miles on the southern shore of this great lake. With the lake's gorgeous landscape, it is no wonder that Ontario translates to "beautiful lake."

The shores of Lake Ontario are home to many large cities throughout New York and Canada.

Perfect for Recreation

Lake Ontario is an excellent spot for fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, diving, sailing, and more water sports. Due to its large size, residents and visitors can enjoy plenty of water and off activities.

Fishing is a massive draw for tourism to the area. Lake Ontario produces some of the largest king salmon known to the states, and trout is always a famous catch here.

In the summer, expect to find chinook, coho salmon, brown trout, and steelhead on the shore, and these fish increase in size as the season goes along. You can also find walleye, pike, muskie, and smallmouth bass, and the famous salmon and trout.

If you are looking for a more relaxing trip on the waters, you can book one of the many local fishermen's charters.

Beautiful beaches and wildlife areas also sit along the shores and are easily accessible, depending on your location.

On the Shore

You can find plenty of fun off the waters of Lake Ontario as well. Restaurants, museums, state parks, entertainment, and more can easily be found in different cities along the lake.

The city of Rochester is a significant tourism spot along with the wineries of the Finger Lakes.

Live Great on The Great Lakes

Whether you are looking to buy a family home, a full-time retirement residence, or a vacation rental, Lake Ontario is an excellent choice.
