Lake Erie, Port Dover Live Cam

The Lynn River runs below this webcam at Port Dover, on the north shore of Lake Erie in Ontario, Canada. A boat dealer's pontoons run along the near bank, and the river turns towards the lake past the far shore.

Port Dover is a fishing town — the freshwater fleet that works Lake Erie ties up along this river — and a summer resort with a long beach on the lake. It is also known for its Friday the 13th motorcycle gatherings, which fill the town whenever the date falls.

The lake is shallow and warms quickly, so the season here is short and intense. Ice closes the river most winters.
