Once home to the world's largest freshwater fishing fleet, Port Dover today is a working fishing harbour and marina rather than a cargo gateway. It sits on the Lynn River where it meets the north shore of Lake Erie in Norfolk County, Ontario. A controlling depth of roughly 1.8 metres rules out seagoing vessels and container traffic, and no commercial general-cargo or customs handling is confirmed. Grain, lumber and coal once moved across these wharves, but that trade has long shifted to larger Lake Erie ports. Freight shippers should look to Nanticoke for bulk and industrial cargo on the Canadian shore.
