Lake Ontario

As one of our Great Lakes, Lake Ontario has some of the best salmon, lake trout, brown trout and steelhead fishing in the world! Lake Ontario is the smallest of all the Great Lakes, with a surface area of 7,340 square miles, but its waters run deep. It holds about four times the water volume, at 393 cubic miles as Lake Erie, although it is similar in width and length. Because of the lake's depth and the warm weather that comes in from the southwest, Lake Ontario rarely freezes over.
