Our last full day of camping the weather changed. It cooled off and the wind picked up. Jameson really wanted to try fishing on the Niagara River so we woke up early and drove to a public dock right next to the dam. Evelyn fished a little too. Neither had any luck.
Back at camp, we at breakfast and then visited Fort Niagara. The area has a free shuttle that takes you to several popular tourist spots. There’s a specific route that runs from 4 mile creek state park to Fort Niagara so we thought we’d give it a try.
We all enjoyed the fort. It seemed to have the perfect combo of things to look at and things to read. The reenactors were very informative too. And it wasn’t blazing hot. Nate has decided every vacation now needs to include a trip to a historical fort.
We tried swimming in Lake Ontario again at a different beach. The wind and waves meant we didn’t really swim as much as wade and walk along the shore.
Evelyn and Jameson spent much of the evening along the lake either playing in the water, looking for sea glass or fishing. A park ranger told us the big waves were somewhat uncommon for Lake Ontario. The cooler evening meant we enjoyed a nice campfire.
