Niagara Escarpment
Burlington, Ontario is located on the shores of Lake Ontario, mid-way between Toronto and Niagara Falls in Canada. The city is a booming tourism center, thanks to nearby Niagara Escapment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve that attracts hikers, bikers and nature lovers from around the world. After a day of exploring nature, visitors and locals can watch the sun set from one of Burlington's lake shore restaurants. Add this to my Recipe Box.
