Lake Ontario is the first Great Lake that the ships coming into the Seaway System encounter. It is bordered by New York State and the Province of Ontario in Canada.
Some important ports of call on this lake are: Toronto, Hamilton, Rochester, and Oswego, which happens to be the beginning of the New York State Barge Canal System.
Lake Ontario begins at Port Weller, ON on The Welland Canal and empties into the St. Lawrence River at Tibbetts Point, NY (See Lighthouse Page).
