Lake Erie and numerous rivers provide refreshing natural venues for water-based sports. Multiple bass and walleye fishing tournaments are hosted each year, bringing in competitors from around the globe. Non-motorized boaters, such as canoe and kayak paddlers, compete in various inland or protected water venues while power boating, sailing and water skiing competitions fill the lake with supercharged action and adventure just offshore.

The Lake Erie Shores & Islands has the ability to host land-based events as well. Walking, running and cycling events can be routed through picturesque backroads, scenic shorefronts or along the perimeter road of a Lake Erie island. Several championship greens offer golf enthusiasts the option to experience multiple courses throughout their tournament. Gymnastic, dance and bowling competitions are welcomed year-round, with indoor venues large enough to handle most group sizes. Or, make the most of both our land and lake, and find that the ideal location for triathlons is right here on Lake Erie.
