Can you see the northern lights over Lake Erie?
Can you see the northern lights over Lake Erie? Fairport Harbor on Lake Erie is actually a nice spot because you have a clear view of the northern sky. However, anywhere, particularly along the lakeshore, will work, as long as you're about 25 miles away from a major city.
Can you see northern lights in Niagara Falls?
The city is located inside the Auroral Oval—the area that hovers over the North Pole—which means more chances to see the Aurora Borealis.
Do the northern lights happen every night?
Fortunately, they occur frequently. The northern lights are happening 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, said photographer Chad Blakely, owner of the northern lights tour company Lights Over Lapland. But that doesn't mean they're easy to spot; you need to be at the right place at the right time.
