The Great Lakes form the largest freshwater ecosystem on the planet. Come and discover for yourself what makes each of these lakes a natural wonder with their majestic beauty. Departing from either Toronto, Ontario, or Chicago, Illinois, discover why each is a cultural center for the arts and entertainment. Cruising along the lakes, you'll encounter magnificent beauty in both the indigenous wildlife that calls this area home and the natural shoreline. Retreating glaciers have left their footprint along the shores with unique rock formations and water falls. The most popular outcrop is Flowerpot Rocks, which is located at the entrance to Georgian Bay. And Niagara Falls, the largest and most dynamic water fall in the world, impresses visitors with its enormous size. From cosmopolitan ports to the remote, you can experience traditional Native American dance on Manitoulin Island, the largest freshwater island in the world. And step back in time to the early 1800's on Mackinac Island. No mechanized transportation is allowed on the island, so horse and buggies and bicycles will allow you to explore this pristine island with its quiet streets adorned with opulent gardens and homes. Windsor is a welcoming port and a major entry point between Canada and the U.S. The Charles Brooks Memorial Peace Fountain symbolizes this peaceful relationship as it floats with colorful lights on the Detroit River. Tours to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village delight visitors with multimedia presentations and recreated early American homes.
