Owners are great supporters of local artists. The Gallery is housed in a beautiful old barn - and a fun place to find down a country road.

While a simple beach on Lake Ontario, it is right next to CFB Picton Training area where in the 1950's, models of the Avro Arrow were launched to test wing shapes.

We love going to Point Petre, no matter what time of year, it's beautiful. Unfortunately, hunters have been going there and not picking up their shot gun shells. It's sad to see all the garbage all over the beach. My kids decided to reuse the shells to make a beach Christmas tree was the best thing to do...

We had an interesting talk with some commercial fishermen docked at the end of the road. The short walk to the lighthouse begins at the end of the road and takes 15-20 minutes. We saw many Monarch butterflies and did our best to avoid stepping on thousands of little frogs. It's worth the short hike for the scenery, even though the lighthouse isn't the most picturesque Great Lakes light.

On a day trip to Prince Edward County, we happened upon "The Local Store" a wonderful store (converted from a barn) displaying hundreds of locally made crafts, art works, books, preserves and many other delectable or intriguing items. The staff are friendly and helpful, but not pushy at all. While the address indicates Picton, it's much closer to the eastern end of West Lake.

A nice short ferry ride on a scenic drive from Picton to Kingston. The 12ish car ferry leaves about every 15 minutes. You can walk, bike, or drive across.
