Bay of Quinte Country…the great outdoors

Bay of Quinte Country is a well-known destination for boaters and anglers. The Bay is ideal for sailing and cruising on calm waters protected by Prince Edward County. It is also a world-class fishery for Walleye and Bass, attracting both amateur and professional anglers all year long. The challenge of salmon fishing in Lake Ontario also draws thousands of anglers each summer for trophy fish. The Bay of Quinte is the southern gateway to the Trent Severn Waterway, and the western entrance to the 1000 Islands region, making it the favourite course for sailors and power boaters alike.

Kayaking and windsurfing are attracting more and more people to the Bay and surrounding waterways. In the Spring and Fall, bird migrations draw increasing numbers of visitors to Presqu'ile Park to marvel at the many different species stopping for a rest. Meanwhile back on land, an extensive trail system is being developed, connecting with the Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail and the Trans Canada Trail. These are multi-use trails catering to hikers and riders, in all seasons.

Bay of Quinte Country is all about outdoor adventure. For more information contact:
