Niagara-on-the-Lake

Looking for a day trip to the country outside of Toronto?




Niagara-on-the-Lake is always a great trip this time of year. Last week we loaded up the car with our bikes and headed there. The perfect way to spend a Birthday!




I didn't take any pictures in town as I was too busy gawking at every house. The town itself is adorable and historic. Even the new suburbs match the historical feel. Add to that Lake Ontario, the Niagara River, wineries and orchards and you have got the picture perfect country experience.




I think the wineries are best explored by bike. This time we brought our own but in the past we have done tours that include comfy bikes and will transport any purchases that you make. Also there is a beautiful bike path that follows the Niagara River. You can even bike all the way to Niagara Falls.




Niagara-on-the-Lake makes for a wonderful day trip from Toronto and of course if you want to stay over there are endless B&B opportunities.


























This house had a beautiful gate, however I am not sure how much security it provided them.
