Port Dover

We try to get to Port Dover on Lake Erie once every summer. We went there again recently and it was as enjoyable as every other time we have gone. Port Dover is famous for many things, one of them the Arbor which has been going strong for over 85 years. It is famous for its foot long hot dogs and its drinks which are called Glow.
Also, because the town is on Lake Erie, it is famous for its fresh perch. We went for lunch to the Erie Beach Hotel and had a meal of perch. I would highly recommend trying a meal there. Port Erie is also known for its white sandy beach.
Every year when a Friday falls on the thirteenth of any month, either summer or winter, tens of thousands of motorcyclists come to Port Dover. This has become a tradition here. I managed to get there one year, but didn't own a motorcycle, so they have parking facilities about 10 km outside town for autos and shuttle buses take you in. Only motorcycles are allowed in to town at these events unless you are a local resident.
Port Dover is located on highway 6 on Lake Erie. It has a lot more to offer than I have mentioned here, but it is well worth the trip.
