Hi pdedse. I grew up in Rochester, NY, and have ventured into Canada more times than I can count. Friends and I actually pitched our tents and slept in a park in the city of Toronto about 40 years ago (completely illegal I'm sure, but it was very late, and we didn't want to search any longer for a legal park to camp in). I haven't been further east or north than Toronto, but I do have a lot of experience in Niagara Falls (been there more than 50 times I estimate because the wife and I visit there twice each year when we visit relatives in Rochester). I highly recommend visiting the Falls, and on both sides (American / Canadian). Our favorite restaurant is on the Canadian side, called the Skylon. It's a revolving restaurant, just like the one in Seattle, but (in my humble opinion) better, because the sights are much better. There are a lot of beautiful roads in the Finger Lakes area of NY, and I also recommend riding down to Watkin's Glen, if you have the chance. One word of advice though: Bring rain gear, and beware of radar traps on the freeways.
