CLIMB TO NEW HEIGHTS: Port Burwell

CLIMB TO NEW HEIGHTS

Port Burwell

Port Burwell is home to the oldest wooden lighthouse this side of Lake Erie. Be a part of history and climb to the top of the 56 step Port Burwell Historical Lighthouse, for a panoramic view of the most eastern portion of Elgin County.

With the 3rd Blue Flag Beach in Elgin County, relax on the tranquil Port Burwell Beach, where you can ‘gram’ your photos using the public WiFi; just don’t forget to use #ElginCounty!

Don’t leave your four-legged best friend behind… they too can have a day of fun in the sun at the Port Burwell Provincial Parks’ Dog Beach.

We know you’ll be ‘shore’ to work up an appetite, but don’t worry, there are plenty of places to fill up your belly. Save room for ice cream, because the Simply Scoops Ice Cream Shoppe has more than 48 flavours to choose from.

FIDO FRIENDLY FINDS

We have sniffed out the best places for your dog to run, roam, swim, fetch or frolic in Elgin County.

Why not soak up the sun with your dog at Port Burwell Provincial Park? Your dog will thank you as soon as they step foot on the beautiful sandy beach and cool off in the refreshing water of Lake Erie. Don’t forget your leash at home, as dogs are required to be kept on a leash in certain areas of the park.

Many trails in Elgin are also Fido friendly. From the Kettle Creek Dog Park to the trails in our abundant conservation areas and Provincial Parks, there’s a spot for all tail-waggers and of course their best friends to roam. Before adventuring to our terrific trails and beaches, check out our website for more details about off-leash and on leash requirements.
