Beach |
North
America's
longest
fresh
water
beach

Number
One in

Edward
County."
Just
what
you'd
expect
to
find...in
the
Caribbean.
World famous!

Lake On
The
Mountain |
Lake on the Mountain is a
natural curiosity: it has a constant flow of clean,
fresh water, with no apparent source, 60 metres above
Lake Ontario. Mohawks offered gifts to its spirits and
settlers thought it was bottomless. The depth of the
lake cannot be ascertained.
A beautiful view of Adolphus Reach below from its
cliffs.

The
Murray
Canal |
Constructed
between
1882-1889
to
provide
an
alternative
shipping
route to
the
treacherous
waters
surrounding
Prince
Edward
County,
the
canal
makes
The
County
an
island,
and
opens a
path to
the Bay
of
Quinte
and the
best
sailing
grounds
on Lake
Ontario.

The
Glenora
Ferry |
How can
a ferry
be a
wonder
of The
County?
Because
it's a
fabulously
scenic
boat
ride for
you and
your car
that
costs
absolutely
nothing!
And when
you get
off the
ferry,
you're
either
very
close to
Lake on
the
Mountain,
or on
the road
to
Kingston.

The
Birds |
Prince
Edward
County
is an
extraordinary
birding
location
with the
highest
concentration
and
abundance
of
migratory
birds
anywhere
on the
Canadian
side of
Lake
Ontario.
Even
with the
backdrop
of all
The
County's
hypnotic
natural
beauty,
the
birding
alone
ranks it
as a
National
Treasure
to
protect
and
cherish.

Prince Edward County might just as easily be in
Europe.
Even though it's the closest
Ontario Wine Region to Ottawa,
Toronto and Montréal.
When one exits the 401 and heads
south onto the island, the
landscape transforms into
rolling countryside dotted with
vineyards in a luscious painting
of rural tranquility. You've
come through the looking glass
into another world. Leave the
deadlines behind...everything
moves at a luxurious pace in The
County. The wines are superb,
the foods are fresh and
inspired, the accommodations are
classic and comforting. The
County is a cornucopia of music,
art, fine cuisine, and...of
course...wonderful wines. |
