We’ve been sharing about the fun things to do in Niagara on the Lake for many years now but most of those spots are quite popular and busy. As many of you are aware, at the start of the pandemic we moved into my parents’ Niagara on the Lake Bed and Breakfast and spent three months with them. During these uncertain times, we were most diligent about not only wearing masks when out in public but outside of grocery store visits, we avoided any interactions with the public. Yet, we were able to explore the immediate area and discovered some hidden gems in Niagara on the Lake. Today I want to tell you about perfect off the beaten path spots in the Niagara region for families to explore without having to interact with others. As things open up in the area we did support the local businesses in ways we were comfortable but for the most part, we explored the outdoors, went swimming in Niagara on the Lake (yes! A gem of a find), watched the best sunsets in Niagara on the Lake and even learned about Niagara’s Black history. We might be back home in Toronto now, but it would be rude of me not to share the places we discovered for the very first time because our usual hangout spots were closed for regular business! If you’re looking for places to physically distance whilst still exploring, these are some hidden gems in Niagara on the Lake.
