outdoor activities

Grab a pair of walking shoes, your bike, ice skates, boat, cross-country skis or hiking gear because it's all in St. Catharines.

Enjoy some of our magnificent gardens, beautiful waterfront and more than 1,000 acres of lush parkland. St. Catharines offers trails, fishing charters, cycling tours, skydiving, wind surfing, beaches, boating, marinas, sports fields, arenas, tobogganing, rowing, skating and cross-country skiing venues. Visit our provincial parks for bird watching, hiking and camping, and some of the best fishing in the world.

If you like to boat, you have your choice of Lake Ontario or Lake Erie. In fact, you can visit both by going through the series of locks on the Welland Canal.
