Boating
Nautical adventures await boaters along the many shores of Chatham-Kent. The vast seascape that surrounds this region gives boaters a choice of narrow rivers, sheltered bays, or the openness of Great Lakes to explore. Waterfront communities here service boaters, kayakers, and canoeists with resort-style marinas, fine restaurants, and accommodations.
Lighthouse Cove
In scenic Lighthouse Cove, where the Thames River joins Lake St. Clair, three large full-service marinas cater to boaters with resort-style amenities including heated pools, horseshoe pits, themed events and activities for guests of all ages.
Mitchell’s Bay
Further north, Mitchell’s Bay has a full-service marina with several launch ramps, a bait and accessories store, and camp sites.
Erieau
Along Lake Erie in the Village of Erieau, the newly modernized marina features an in-ground salt water pool, exercise room, and Internet access. Boaters are close to the beach, restaurants, and a boat repair facility with accessories and supplies.
Downtown Docks
Boaters can also berth at the docks of the urban centres of Chatham along the Thames River, or in Wallaceburg along the Sydenham. In both communities, boaters are within a short walk to commercial districts.
Wallaceburg Water Trails
Water trails for canoes and kayaks are available on many rivers and conservation areas around the Wallaceburg area. More information about this unique trail system is available at Wallaceburg Trails
