50 Point is a great destination in western Lake Ontario. It is actually a part of a conservation authority, but has a wonderful marina with a restaurant that is not bad. Great walking trails, fishing pond, and beaches makes it really popular for cruisers with kids! We sailed over in strong winds but on a beam reach which made for some great speeds! It is a bit weird as you can’t see the entrance to the marina/park until you get quite close and the masts are obscured by trees, so it seems like you are sailing towards the shore on a suicide mission. Get into the channel though, and our immediate response was “wow”! Spent a lovely evening exploring and headed back the next day without a hint of wind. About 5 miles out, we just stopped and went for a wonderful swim in what seemed like the middle of Lake Ontario. The winds started to finally pick up and off we went for a great sail home.
