Is Lake Erie safe for swimming? |
|
During the summer months, beaches along Lake Erie are safe to swim in. If the water is unsafe to swim in, Niagara Region Public Health signs will be posted at the entrance of the beach. Beaches are unsafe for swimming when the water contains levels of bacteria that may increase a bather's risk of developing a variety of irritations and infections. The most common are minor skin, eye, ear, nose and throat infections and occasional stomach disorders. Other situations which may cause the status of the beach to change include floating debris, oil, scum, excessive weed growth, bad odors and general turbidity. Niagara Region Public Health will post the status of local beaches every Friday during the summer. To obtain information on the status of beaches in the Niagara region, call 1-888-505-6074 ext. 7789. |
Right of passage along the Lake Erie shoreline |
|
Currently, there is no provincial legislation that allows the public to pass freely along the shoreline of Lake Erie. What does this mean? Those who walk along the shoreline or waters' edge are trespassing onto the property of owners with private residences. To provide access to Lake Erie for residents and visitors, the City does operate two lakefront beach parks: Cedar Bay - Centennial Park and Nickel Beach. Have questions? Contact By-Law Services by emailing bylawenforcement@portcolborne.ca or call 905-835-2900 x200. |
