Overview
Lake Ontario is one of the five Great Lakes of North America. It is surrounded on the north, west, and southwest by the Canadian province of Ontario, and on the south and east by the American state of New York.
Description
To downstate New Yorkers, this region is the source of the Thousand Islands salad dressing made of ketchup, mayonnaise, and relish. In fact, it's a scenic wonderland along Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence River speckled with 1864 islands of all shapes and sizes either side of the US–Canada maritime border. The area was a Gilded Age playground for the rich; now it's more populist. Pros: beautiful sunsets, good-value lodging, and Canada across the water. Cons: dead in winter and large mosquitoes in summer (bring repellent).
