Fort Erie prides itself on its beautiful beaches spanning the Lake Erie waterfront and the sprawling trails found along the Niagara River Parkway. Boating and fishing are just a few of the ways to relax, soak up the scenery and enjoy life with family or friends. History buffs can become immersed in pivotal Canadian history by experiencing re-enactments of the War of 1812 or visiting one of several Fort Erie museums. Within close proximity to Buffalo’s international airports, the QEW ends at Fort Erie with duty free shopping and the Peace Bridge border crossing.
