Chatham-Kent is located in the middle of the Great Lakes.It is a great place to visit with 9 Golf Courses in the area and lots of boating and fishing.There are several cottage areas like Erieau located on Lake Erie, Mitchell's Bay
on Lake St. Clair and Lighthouse Cove at the end of the Thames River which runs though Chatham. The St. Clair River with it's beautiful Scenery and blue water is a great place to just take a picnic lunch, sit along the banks and watch the freighters from all over the world pass by or wander the streets of the quaint little village of Sombra.

In the Winter, the  Thames River which runs through Chatham to Lake St. Clair often freezes over. The Ice Fishermen are out in mass driving their cars across the ice at Mitchell's Bay and building fishing huts for warmth. The snowmobiles run up and down the 19 miles from the mouth of the Thames River at Lighthouse Cove to downtown Chatham and children can be seen skating and playing hockey on the home made rinks behind the Riverfront Houses.
 In the summer months the scenery and sunsets are spectacular!
