Niagara on the Lake and the surrounding region offer a veritable cornucopia of things to do…

The Niagara River Recreation Trail, just a short walk from Harbour House, is one of the most attractive off-road recreation trails in Canada. Hugging the winding shore of the Niagara River, the Trail is perfect for cycling and walking. And when you have taxed the body, rejuvenate in your room's whirlpool and luxurious bedding!

The Shaw Festival, a renowned repertory theatre, presents plays created by George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries, in three wonderful theatres-all within walking distance of Harbour House.

Steps away from Harbour House is Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours. Take a breathtaking ride up the Niagara River into the stonewalled canyon that is the Niagara Gorge. The ultimate destination is the Devil's Hole Rapids and the legendary Whirlpool. This is one of the most amazing rides you will ever experience. As seen on the Amazing Race

Wander down Queen Street and you will be tempted by dozens of shops-a unique treasure trove of original gift buying.
