Lake Ontario is one of N America's largest bodies of water, and serves as an important industrial base and transportation conduit.

When I moved to Toronto/Oakville I was struck by the flatness of everything. When I saw the lake I felt like I was back on the Pacific coast, no mountains but at least there was big water. I rented an apartment right on the lake and I can see it out of my windows and I love the lake.

Lake Ontario is one of the world's largest bodies of fresh water. It has Niagara Falls on one end and the great St Lawrence River on the other. In between is limitless opportunity for commerce and recreation.

This is an incredible lake and Toronto's beaches are world-class. There is even an app for your smartphone (free) that tells you where the beaches are and when it is safe to go swimming - just search for the "Swim Guide". Our toddler loves all the playgrounds at the waterfront, particularly at Sunnyside Beach and on the Toronto Islands.

Nice lake for taking ferries, boating, canoeing and even taking a dip now and then when it is warm enough. Nice to have it so close as it is part of the great lakes and fresh water lake. Helps to keep down the cost of our water.

The sand the beach, the water, playing games, the fresh air felt like being in a different city i went with my hrandchildren & this was a whole new experience for them. we had a picnic & the day was joyful & fun.

My family loves to walk and jog along the lake Ontario. What a beautiful view it is fun. There are parks along the way and beautiful homes. The sunrise and sunset are amazing views. We just love to be close to the water.
