Waterfront & heritage

An afternoon in Port Dalhousie

Start with the waterfront, then follow the neighbourhood’s canal history.

Port Dalhousie sits on a peninsula between Martindale Pond and Lake Ontario. The city’s heritage guide connects the community’s development to the Welland canals and Great Lakes shipping.

The city highlights the Lakeside Park Carousel and the Inner Range Lighthouse as local attractions. Its historic commercial core includes Lakeport Road, Lock Street and Hogan’s Alley.

Use the official heritage guide to plan your route. Check current access, seasonal opening times and parking information before leaving.
