Let the Lower Niagara Lure You!!

The Lower Niagara River Region offers some of the best freshwater fishing in the world. Located just 7 miles north of Niagara Falls, the Lower Niagara River connects the world renown Niagara Falls and Lake Ontario. From trophy trout and salmon to world class smallmouth bass, walleye and muskellunge, we’ve got it all.

You can fish from the dock, launch your own boat or let one of our captains host you on a charter excursion.

To quench your appetite for outdoor adventures, the Niagara River offers recreational boating and sailing and the region is abundant with state parks, hiking and biking trail.

For family fun, check out our calendar of events. Come down to the Lewiston Waterfront on the first Friday of May for our Annual Lewiston Smelt Festival. We even have a Smelt Queen.

You’ll surely fall for the Lower Niagara River Region Hook Line and sinker.
