Kids at "the lake" - Lake Ontario
L is for LAKE
Would you believe Ontario has approximately 250,000 lakes? Yep, it's true. In fact, Ontario lakes make up about 17% of the province's total area.

When Ontarians say they are going to "the cottage" they are probably also going to "the lake."
Lake Ontario at Pickering
And many of these lakes are within easy driving distance of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Well, some are IN or partly in the GTA! Lakes Ontario and Simcoe are two BIG examples.
Georgian Bay on Lake Huron
While Georgian Bay is outside the GTA, it's still within fairly easy driving distance.

Oh dear, that GTA just keeps on growing!
I love that we are never far away from a lake of some size.

You have captured the essence of summer perfectly! Love that sunset!
Gosh you're ahead of the game this week. Love m
We sure do miss all these beautiful lakes since we moved south...just gorgeous!
That's an impressive fact about the number of lakes in Ontario you've included in your beautiful post. Love those images. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.

Beautiful lake shots! And I just love the gorgeous sunset!
Beautiful.
Your area is blessed by lakes. Absolute beauty.
such a great way to spend summer days.
Beautiful pictures.
The sunset is my favorite.
Greetings Irma
Gorgeous lake shots!
That is a lot of lakes! You wouldn't have the trouble of so many boats that they are running into each other, like we have here.
Hi Lovely lakes and fantastic sunset.
What beautiful lake scenes! I recently visited a few of the Great Lakes - spectacular!
I didn't realize that we had so many lakes here. Great shots as usual, EG!
I guess it's time for me to add Ontario to my wish list of places to see . . . Thank you - and, hey . . the Virginia Rails . . AWESOME Stuff.
You Rock!!!
That's a very nice way to spend a sunny day!
I didn't know that! And your pictures show that they are beautiful lakes indeed.
The sunset shot is amazing...
Absolutely gorgeous shots ~ love the place and the children ~ thanks, carol, xo
I'm impressed! I had no idea there were so many lakes up thataway! And I suppose they are all "natural" lakes that go way back. Some of my best times as a kid involved a lake in Minnesota! Love that last shot!
I could have looked at the sunset forever. It is so pretty.
Hi! Nice captures. your photos are very beautiful.
I like the last one very much. Thanks for sharing.
Those are some large, and lovely, lakes! Your sunset photo is gorgeous!
Sigh...Your lake shots make me miss Lake Michigan :)
Beautiful photos.
My last visit was in Niagara on the lake, beautiful area. Would love to return for another visit. You are lucky to be living near so many lakes. Great shots!
The last three are really good. I would like to go to "the cottage," even if I don't have a cottage up there.
Wonderful sunset.
Beautiful photos!Your sunset photo is gorgeous!
You caught beautiful lake views!
It so happens that this week I'm vacationing at the backside of a lake where it gets about a 100 + deg. F during the day (luckily we have air conditioning in the cabin.
One word - awesome!
Lovely lakes everywhere. I'd like to be on one in a canoe about now.

Sunset on the lake--you can't beat that. Isn't it great to have so many lakes at your disposal. Great shots. We have an abundance of lakes, rivers, creeks salt water out this way also. MB
What a beautiful lake !
Like the facts, just hope that I can remember them!
I must say that sunset shot is beyond words. Really, really beautiful.
Lovely lake shots. I am partial to Lake Ontario since I live next to it... LOL
What a wonderful spot! My husband and I need to visit again.
=)
It felt good to realise that I've seen each of those places. For two very happy years we lived just doors away from the shores of Lake Ontario at Kingston - and for another few years we owned a sail boat that we sailed out of Kempenfelt Bay on Lake Simcoe. Lovely memories!
Wow! gorgeous lake photos!
That's a lot of lakes and a lot of opportunity for beauty.
I like the lay of the land...
I don't picture green when I think of Canada...
Lovely post for the letter "L"...
Thanks for linking!
A+
