From this vantage point, you can watch freighters enter and exit the canal at close range, often just a few hundred metres away. The pier marks the eastern entrance to the canal from Lake Ontario, and its narrow spit offers unobstructed views of ships navigating the channel. It’s one of the best spots in St. Catharines to see the scale and movement of Great Lakes shipping up close.
