Is the Niagara Peninsula really a peninsula?

In: Europe [Edit categories]

Answer:

The Niagara Peninsula is not a true peninsula. It is an isthmus, a narrow strip of land connecting two larger bodies of land. The Niagara River does not count as a body of water, thus the "peninsula" is only bordered by bodies of water on two sides, Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.
