Live Webcams in Fort Erie

Fort Erie stands at the point where the Niagara River leaves Lake Erie, facing Buffalo across the water, and the live webcams in Fort Erie watch the crossing and the shore: the lanes and booths of the border plaza, the arches of the Peace Bridge over the river, the lake beaches to the west, and the current that runs north towards the falls. Fort Erie keeps Eastern Time, UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer, the same clock as Toronto and New York. Some 32,000 people live in the town, and the bridge beside it is one of the busiest crossings between Canada and the United States, about 20 kilometres upriver of Niagara Falls. Summer is the season on the lake; spring and autumn are the quiet months.
