Oпce yoυ see the brilliaпt sυпrise, yoυ will defiпitely be fasciпated by its beaυty


Once you see a vibrant sunrise, you’re bound to be addicted and there’s not many places in the world that are more beautiful than a sunrise over the Great Lakes Ontario region. The heart of the Golden Horseshoe region begins at Niagara Falls, extends into Hamilton, Toronto, and finally ends in Oshawa. Each morning is uniquely different depending on many factors. I’m a bit of an early bird, so getting up at 5am to capture the sun rising over the lake from different vantage points is not too tough for me. Before focusing on my own backyard in Ontario, I travelled the world photographing many beautiful landscapes, but I left the best to last. Ontario is Canada’s second-largest province, so there is no shortage of things to see and photograph. We’ll start our journey in Hamilton and work our way around to Toronto.

We hope you enjoy the photos!

Confederation Park, Hamilton

You can walk the Hamilton Waterfront Trail from Confederation Park to the Burlington Lift Bridge. Sunrises are especially beautiful here since the sun rises directly over the lake from this viewpoint. Beaches are very stony but good to walk on. It’s not the best park I’ve been to, but the photo opportunities along this walk, especially in the morning are fantastic. This photo was taken with my

Burlington Canal Sunrise Splendor, Burlington

On the west end of Lake Ontario, we will find the Burlington Canal. Sunrise’s are dramatic here since they arise directly in the middle of the lake during June. There were lots of nature photographers out here early in the morning taking photos of the birds. Fishermen rise early to come here and find the catch for the day. It is very picturesque and you almost forget you have the Hamilton Steel Work factories behind you. The Burlington Canal Lighthouse dates back to the mid-1800s and has a bit of history attached to it. There is a very small park here were you can have a picnic lunch or you can walk down the stony beach.

Spencer Park, Burlington

Spencer Smith Park is located in Burlington, Ontario on the shores of Lake Ontario. These little pillars reminded me of people holding hands together as they watched the dawning of a new day.

The Brant Street Pier, Burlington

Brant Street Pier is a signature destination and attraction located in Spencer Smith Park on the waterfront at downtown Burlington. This pier caught me by surprise with its beauty especially during sunrise. It extends 137 metres over Lake Ontario that provides views of the lake and Burlington’s shoreline. The ‘S’-shaped Brant Street pier is fabulous for photo opportunities or you can just stroll along and enjoy the beauty of this place.

Brant Street Winding Path, Burlington

The waterfront trail is a great spot for a cooling walk by the water at any time of day but I especially like the early morning sunrise anywhere along the waterfront trail.

Water’s Edge Park, Oakville

Water’s Edge Park is bordered by Bronte Heritage Park to the west and Water’s Edge Drive to the east. There’s a lovely waterfront walkway you can follow. Easy access and good parking nearby.

Lakeside Park, Mississauga

This park has a unique red rock beach. Copper colored cobblestones on the beach are one of its unique features. In the morning sunrise, they glisten a reddish color. It’s a small park, but it’s a decent location to take some great sunrise shots.

St. Lawrence Park, Mississauga

Located in Mississauga, this small beach along the lake front walkway is a get-away worth experiencing. I love coming here since its close to home. Always lots going on down here, biking, hiking, fishing and taking photos.

J.J Plaus Park Pier, Mississauga

From this park you get a beautiful view over the marina plus the Toronto skyline in the back ground. There are beautiful and expensive boats here, swans swimming in the lake and a sunrise second to none. What else could you want? If you’re hungry you can grab a bite from Snug Harbour, one of the loveliest restaurants anywhere.

Marie Curtis Park, Toronto

Marie Curtis Park Beach is located on the east bank of the Etobicoke Creek. It was a lovely unexpected find. Marie Curtis Park Beach is exactly what a local park and beach should be – fun for walking, hiking, biking, relaxing on the beach, fishing and great photo opportunities as well. You can explore some nature trails and wooded paths with lovely bridges that cross it. It is an everyday place for the people who live nearby, it’s relaxing just to sit there and watch the world go by. That is what makes Marie Curtis Park Beach so special.

Colonel Samuel Smith Park, Toronto

You can watch the sunrise from almost anywhere along the Toronto shoreline, but Colonel Samuel Smith Park is very special.

Prince of Wales ParkToronto

You’ll find this small park in South Etobicoke close to Third Street. This beautiful park may be small but it offers one of the best views of the Toronto skyline any where in the city. There are also beautiful green areas to enjoy picnics and gatherings.

Humber Bay Arch Bridge, Toronto

Right next door to the Humber Bay park, you will find this unique bridge. The Humber Bay Arch Bridge is one of those subjects that’s captivated Toronto photographers since its completion in the mid 1990s. Fabulous photo opportunities abound here at sunrise.

Martin Goodman Trail, Toronto

The Martin Goodman Trail is a 56-kilometre multi-use path along the waterfront in Toronto. It traverses the entire lake shore from one end of the city to the other, from Humber Bay Arch Bridge in the west to the Rouge River in the east. To capture the bare branches, you need to be there before June.

Trillium Park, Toronto

Trillium Park is a provincial park in Toronto and offers a wonderful view of the Toronto skyline at sunrise and sunset. Close to Toronto, its a favorite with many of the locals. Its a nice place to spend a lazy afternoon strolling along the waterfront or having a picnic on a blanket. The Toronto skyline is the closest from this park. Superb photo opportunities here. I took my bike and biked along the waterfront. You can also explore Ontario Place next door. It’s a great place to relax and get that cottage feel without leaving the city!

Scarborough Bluffs Park

The Scarborough Bluffs is an escarpment just outside of Toronto. There are nine parks along the bluffs, with Bluffers Park being the only one with a beach. This place has always been near and dear to my heart as I grew up in Scarborough and this was our backyard.
