Frequently Asked Questions
A short distance from West Street and the shops. Port Colborne guards the southern entrance to the Welland Canal, and Great Lakes ships call here before or after transiting the eight locks.
A 43-kilometre corridor that lets ships overcome the 99.5-metre difference in elevation between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, bypassing Niagara Falls. A full transit of the eight locks takes about eleven hours.
Stroll West Street, built right at the canal's edge, watch the lakers pass from a patio, then walk or shuttle 2 kilometres up to Lock 8 Gateway Park. The historical and marine museum easily fills out the morning.
One of the longest locks in the world, roughly 420 metres. A viewing platform lets you watch the full operation: the gates close, the water rises or falls, the ship lifts gently, and the chamber opens onto the other lake.
Yes, they are about 35 kilometres away, roughly a thirty-minute drive. Allow half a day. Most ships offer an excursion combining the falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake and sometimes a peninsula winery.
Stay by the canal, with no queues. Large freighters pass every day and the schedule of transits is posted in town. Sitting on a West Street patio while a steel giant slides by a few metres away is the simplest pleasure of the call.
Models, instruments and relics from Lake Erie shipwrecks, in a group of period buildings including a lock tender's house and a blacksmith shop. In summer its tea room serves scones with a reputation across the peninsula.
Yes. H.H. Knoll Park slopes down to the marina and Nickel Beach, where the freshwater horizon of Lake Erie looks convincingly like an inland sea.
The Canadian dollar and English. Cards and contactless payment work everywhere; French is not commonly spoken in the Niagara peninsula.
Yes. Ships passing a few metres from the patios fascinate children, Nickel Beach is easy to reach, and Lock 8 is free entertainment that holds the attention even of people who know nothing about shipping.
