2024 Lake Ontario Port Dalhousie Poker Run

As a tourism hotspot in Canada, the Niagara Region offers a vast array of activities and landmarks for people of all backgrounds to enjoy. Anything you crave, Niagara will deliver in spades.

The Niagara Peninsula is Canada’s largest winemaking region, located along Lake Ontario and the Niagara River, benefiting from the protective Niagara Escarpment. The area is renowned for its cool-climate wines, including Chardonnays, Rieslings, Pinot Noirs, and Icewine, and houses Canada’s only educational winery at Niagara College.

Holding one of the most famous natural world wonders, Niagara Falls, you can expect to be dazzled by the region’s beauty and local attractions. Get a taste of the Niagara Region through its renowned wineries and mouth-watering gourmet dishes. Feel the thrill of soaring across the falls from ziplines and helicopters, or you could opt for something a little closer to earth, cruising the waters of Lake Ontario in the gentle summer. Looking for more of a challenge? Try your hand at fishing on the lake for your next prized catch with the help of rental fishing boats.

Only a short drive from Hamilton; you’ll also find St. Catharines in the region, home to Port Dalhousie in all its waterfront glory. In addition to our Poker Run, Port Dalhousie is known for its rich boating community, historically significant waterways, and home to the “Niagara Grape and Wine Festival.”

Stretching over 7,000 square miles, Lake Ontario fits snugly in the middle of Ontario and the New York state, setting the ultimate stage for both leisure and thrill rides making it ideal for our 2024 Lake Ontario Poker Run.

Thank you to our sponsors:

WINNERS:

1st Place: Jay Stanley with a pair of Kings.

2nd Place: Gary Richards with a pair of 9s.

3rd Place: Wayne Hadath with a pair of 7s.
