Kiwanis Bayshore Trail

Reviewed By ppoppet46 - Belleville, Canada

You can see the view of the Bay of Quinte all along this lovely trail. It is great for bike riding, pushing a stroller or a walker, running or just for a leisurely walk. I usually see swans, ducks, Canada geese and other types of birds. They are many places to sit. There is a good play ground for the children. All along the trail is a photographer's paradise.

Tyendinaga Cavern and Caves

Ontario's oldest natural cavern. Offering guided tours and knowledgeable staff. Open from Victoria Day until Labour Day. Beautiful setting on 60 acres with nature trails and open fields.

Reviewed By VAH1965 - Toronto, Canada

These caves just outside of Belleville were quite fascinating - went on a tour there over the summer and got a chance to explore underground caves that are thousands of years old, fitted with steps and ramps for easy access in and out. Staff offered very interesting facts, were informative, and gave everyone enough time to check everything out. One small caveat - perhaps not for the very claustrophobic

Zwick Centennial Park

Reviewed By PixieGirlCanada - Ottawa, Canada

This was my first time at Zwick’s Park and it won’t be my last! There’s a walking/biking path around the water (Bay of Quinte?) and a rocky shore that you can walk on to get closer to the water. Lily pads are plentiful, and we saw some wee turtles sunning on the logs. Bring your lunch and picnic at one of the tables. There’s a great children’s play area, and when we were there, live music! This is the perfect spot for photos of the water, boats, ducks (we saw a cormorant), the bridge over to Picton, etc... Simply a lovely spot.

Vanderwater Conservation Area

Reviewed By Notwaste - Quinte West, Canada

It is a gem here in Quinte. Great for walking or mt. biking. The parking fees are pathétique, but this was the conversation authority's decision.

Riverside Park

Reviewed By DawgSitter - Ottawa, Canada

Park is well designed for mulit-purpose use. Skate park is well used. The trail accessible and a treat to use. If you start at the park you can enjoy almost a 5km hike or bike ride towards downtown Belleville. During spring run off the water was tremendous.

The home base for Quinte Conservation, this area offers an abundance of recreational opportunities. Trails wind through this former farm, past fragrant orchards, open meadows and scenic woodlands. Hikers, bikers and cross country skiers will find the trails to be inspiring and diversified.

Reviewed By Jennifer_LD25 - Belleville, Canada

This is one of our regular spots to walk our dog. I see many other people out walking their dogs and taking their kids out but the trails are big enough that you are not crowded with many people. We also enjoy this spot for snowshoeing (When there is enough snow)
