Profiles:
Route
Greater Napanee has an abundance of scenic and beautiful waterfront
to offer visitors. Its downtown core is situated on the beautiful
Napanee River, further south its shores hug the Bay of Quinte and
Hay Bay renowned for its Wall-eye fishing. This is Loyalist country
and the prosperity of the past can be seen in the many heritage
buildings that have been so carefully preserved.
There are two routes for the Waterfront Trail in Napanee:
Deseronto to Napanee Route-Trail connects to Deseronto,
goes through the Town of Napanee and follows County Rd 8 south to
the Loyalist Parkway (HWY 33). A scenic secondary route loops around
Hay Bay's rugged shoreline-on County Rd 9 and South Shore Rd.
