This ferry in Port Robinson is a photographers delight. The operators cross on demand so you can be on the right side for the sun. The ships pass very close at a reasonable speed. You can get to the ferry along either side of the canal. If you haven't been here before give it a try. You won't be disappointed. If you enjoy biking you can combine the ferry with the bike path along the canal or the Greater Niagara Circle route.
