Great outdoor adventures, national historic treasures and several unique attractions … so many experiences await you in this part of Ontario’s South.
  

Chatham-Kent boasts an extended mild season giving you time to enjoy some of the best underwater exploration, bird watching, fishing and waterfowl hunting in all of North America. In fact, endangered migrating birds and rare trophy-size fish call our water systems and parklands home. In the Great Lakes that surround us, St. Clair and Erie, divers can explore sunken ships that sailed the famed shipping channel of the 1800s.
 

Our lakes, bays and rivers offer scenic visitor-friendly waterfront communities with miles of sandy beach. We are also bustling urban centres, quaint towns and farming communities. 
 

We have nationally recognized historic sites honouring our Black heritage and involvement in the War of 1812. Museums, galleries, theatre and themed festivals are yours to explore. Feel the thrills of live harness racing and slots or enjoy a day of fun at the outdoor zoo or Ontario’s premier indoor amusement park. 
 

Experience why we are Canada’s Classic Car Capital with a visit to RM Classic Car Exhibit, a museum showcasing one of the world’s finest collections of classic and antique vehicles and the fascinating process of restoration.
