Things to do near Highland-on-the-Lake
Lake Erie is the main draw. Evangola State Park's major attraction is its beautiful arc-shaped shoreline and natural sand beach on Lake Erie, and low cliffs of Angola shale line the edge of the beach. Anglers target smallmouth bass, walleye, and perch from shore, piers, and boats.
Inside Evangola State Park, families can swim at a guarded beach, hike short nature trails, and use the disc golf course, ball courts, and playground. Park amenities include a swimming beach, restrooms, bathhouse, picnic facilities, cycling, nature center, fishing, snack bar, hiking trails, baseball diamonds, pavilions, playgrounds, and disc golf.
Across the border, Sun Retreats Sherkston Shores adds resort-style amenities. The resort offers a private beach, water park, restaurants, and sports courts, and all stays include access to the beaches, quarry, water park, FunPlex passes and unlimited miniature golf. Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and the Crystal Beach area are all within a short drive.

The Lake Erie camping season runs late spring through mid-fall. The Evangola State Park camping season runs mid-May to Columbus Day. Sun Retreats Sherkston Shores operates from May 1 to October 31, and Windmill Point Park is open seasonally from about May 1 to mid-October.
July and August are peak. Weekends fill fast at the state park and at the Ontario resorts, so bookings should be locked in well ahead. During peak summer months, especially weekends, the campground fills quickly, so booking well in advance is recommended. Guarded swimming at Evangola is available from Memorial through Labor Day.
Spring is cool and often wet, and the lake itself stays cold well into May. The ice on Lake Erie does not usually disappear until mid-April and remains chilly through most of May. Winter shuts campgrounds down, but Evangola stays open year-round for day use. Visitors here love biking, fishing, hiking, hunting, picnicking, and camping in the warm months, and winter visitors to the park enjoy snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.

This was my third year renting a camper for our family camping weekend and this was, by far, my best experience. Gary & Kim thought of everything we’d need and wowed me with their presentation of the camper once it was set up. I definitely found my camper for years to come!
