Point Petre Wildlife Conservation Area

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...

Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory

Prince Edward County has the highest concentration and abundance of migratory birds anywhere on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario. Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory Spring Birding Festival, May 10-19, 2014 – guided hikes, workshops, banding demonstrations and more.

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.

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.

We discovered this area while in town geocaching. There are several geocaches along the walkway. The walk along the river and the falls is beautiful. We saw some native wildlife including a snake, ducks and birds.

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.

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)
