Wainfleet.

Wainfleet is a rural lakeshore township on the north shore of Lake Erie, sitting between Port Colborne to the east and Dunnville to the west, drained by the Welland River. The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority manages the two anchor outdoor sites — Wainfleet Bog Conservation Area, one of the largest remaining acidic peat bogs on the Niagara Peninsula (a Provincially Significant Wetland and Area of Natural and Scientific Interest), and Long Beach Conservation Area, a Lake Erie shoreline campground and beach park inside the township.

A long quiet stretch of Erie north shore runs along Lakeshore Road and Quarry Road, connecting east to the Welland Canals Parkway and the Greater Niagara Circle Route at Port Colborne. Wainfleet is roughly an hour from Hamilton and an hour and a half from the GTA via the QEW and the Niagara highway grid.
