Waverly Beach - Public Road Allowances

This location is monitored by the Lake Erie - Niagara Hub, one of Swim Drink Fish’s recreational water monitoring hubs and was established in collaboration with the Niagara Coastal Community Collaborative.

A section of this beach is also sampled by Niagara Region Public Health, the results of which can be found under “Waverly Beach Park” here on the Swim Guide. The Lake Erie - Niagara Hub samples the areas beyond the areas already sampled to provide a holistic understanding of this historic stretch of coastline, and to provide the public with the information they need to make informed decisions about when and where to enter the water

A lot of the Waverly Beach shoreline between Kraft Drain to Waverly Beach Park is privately owned through “water lots” that were issued by the city of Fort Erie in the past. They are no longer issued and public road allowances now provide public access to the Lake. These public road allowances are sampled because they are some of the very few locations where the public can access Lake Erie, these access points are known in Fort Erie as “Windows to the Lake”.
