Tantalizing glimpses of Lake Ontario through the trees alternate with sweeping lake views as the Seaway Trail (aka Lake Ontario State Parkway here) comes within a few feet of the water. The road passes two state parks and a wildlife reserve, which explains all the cars hauling kayaks and camping gear in summer. In winter, however, portions of the parkway are closed.
