==Settlements== A large [[conurbation]] called the [[Golden Horseshoe]] occupies the lake's westernmost shores, anchored by the cities of Toronto and Hamilton. Ports on the Canadian side include St. Catharines, Oshawa, Cobourg and Kingston, near the St. Lawrence River outlet. Close to 9 million people, or over a quarter of Canada's population, live within the watershed of Lake Ontario. The American shore is largely rural, with the exception of Rochester and the much smaller ports at Oswego and Sackets Harbor. The city of Syracuse is {{convert|40|mi|km}} inland, connected to the lake by the New York State Canal System. Over 2 million people live in Lake Ontario's American watershed.
