Summer, the time to ditch the Netflix binge and find some real life adventure.

I had visited Norfolk County a couple of times in the past, using the area as a springboard to a great ride, following the Waterfront Trail, Port Dover to Fort Erie, or as part of a rail trail tour weekend on an Ontario By Bike Ride, from Dundas to Port Dover. I felt I knew something about the bike scene in the area. But it wasn’t until I recently spent a weekend dedicated to exploration and cycling adventures that I experienced a true appreciation for all things Norfolk. 

This summer, explore one of the beautiful beaches on Lake Erie, where you can find some of the warmest waters and finest sand in all of Ontario.

From buskers to metal art designers, Ontario’s Southwest has it all.
