The eastern basin of Lake Ontario represents one of the most diverse fisheries in North America. The quality of both warm and cold water species is among the best in the nation. Anglers throughout the U.S. as well as countries like Denmark, Japan, England and Sweden look to the eastern basin of Lake Ontario for both world class fishing and the geographic charm that makes this an exceptional tourist destination. This fishing industry fuels everything from grocery stores and gas stations to restaurants and motels. When an area loses its charm, the (long term) money that supports its tourist economy will soon go as well.

The eastern end of Lake Ontario provides some of the best sailing anywhere in the world. Along both the U.S. and Canadian shore there are numerous, well sheltered harbors and anchorages. Thousands of pleasure boats travel the waters of the eastern end of the lake. They stop at the many yacht clubs that populate the area. Most of the harbors like Sackets, Chaumont and Henderson are small, historic and quaint. The views from the lake are beyond comparison.

Sailing these waters is exhilarating. The wind varies from the sometimes light and shifting of summer to the more frequent brisk winds that power the thousands of sailboats that make their way each year to visit the Thousand Islands or to cross from the American to the Canadian side of the lake. Sailboat racing is a major sport.

A trip across the lake in any direction is an unforgettable experience. Stony Island, Galloo Island, Main Duck, the smaller islands and the numerous peninsulas on the northeast mainland reach out like long fingers to beckon you towards Tibbetts Point light house and the entrance to the St. Lawrence River.

The eastern end of Lake Ontario is a place of unique natural beauty; a sailing dream come true. A dream worth saving.
