Route

Thanks to the dedication of the Eastern Lake Ontario
St Lawrence River Waterfront Working Group, about 40 km of Waterfront Trail were signed along the Loyalist Parkway through Greater Napanee and Loyalist. This stretch of Waterfront Trail offers visitors lovely rural landscapes, quaint, historic villages and wonderful views of Lake Ontario. Be sure to allow time to visit Amherst Island by Millhaven. It's known for its artisans, music, birdwatching and tranquil scenery.
