Why Excitorama Recommends This

This serene 77-hectare preserve is a coastal sanctuary where visitors can explore diverse habitats ranging from Lake Ontario bluffs to lush wetlands. It is uniquely tied to Canadian history as the site of North America’s first full-scale salmon hatchery, and it remains a vital stopover for migrating monarch butterflies and spawning fish.
