Selkirk Provincial Park to Long Point Provincial Park  Many thanks to MapArt for allowing us to use their maps Unfortunately we cannot show all the secret paths which we used to explore our area. Please use also "Google Earth". You can download this program for free and it is fun to use. Otherwise look for street signs when you travel. When you are in Selkirk you will see a mighty coal fired power plant. At first I was afraid about pollution and bad smells. So far I never saw dark smoke coming out of the chimneys or could smell anything. I am sure that we need coal fired power plants with state-of-of-the-art technology as long as we do not have anything better in place. I was glad to see that finally wind power finds slowly its place in Ontario.  The beach in Port Dover with a nice seafood restaurant in the background  One of the interesting looking restaurants - however, we never tried it!! Please do not use the power plant as an excuse not to stay in this beautiful part of Ontario. The rotting algae in certain areas of the lake are much worse. The smell made us almost sick. Port Dover is a very pretty town which we have included in our Internet travel guide. It has lots of history. Please use also the link about a historical trip from Port Dover to Amherstburg. When we were in Port Dover it as very relaxing at the beach. The owners of powerboats and Sea-Doos" did not disturb the swimmers.  The owners love them - but not necessarily swimmers and fishermen  Almost like in Italy but not as crowded Stay on the road which snakes along the lake. Whenever possible make little detours to Lake Erie, even when a sign says "No Exit". You may discover something interesting.  You will find something like that only when you follow posted signs.
 The beach on Lake Erie  Not yet crowded!  The water was obviously still too cold for most of the visitors.  On the road  On the road You will find "Booth's Harbour" in St. Williams at the "Inner Bay". It is a large marina which attracts many boaters.
If you want to ride a "Sea Doo" - they offer a rental service.  Booth' Harbour  Booth' Harbour  Booth' Harbour - "Sea Doo" rental Please explore Port Rowan. Please check our brief web site for this attractive little town.
Finally, I was able to visit the "Ice Cream Parlour". I am addicted to good ice cream and I loved the place. As you can see, they offer a very wide variety of different flavors. I caused a small confusion when I ordered some different flavors which is very common in Europe. I also could not see my favorites bowls of ice cream in decorative bowls with fruits and some taste improver (Liqueur!) But it is a very good beginning and I will come back.
