Picton to Kingston Bicycling Route

Maps	Distances	Route Description
W-T Picton	0 km	Be sure to leave Picton on Highway #33. Actually, you will follow this highway all the way (well, almost all the way) to Kingston. This section of Highway #33 has an excellent paved shoulder for cycling.
W-T Glenora	9 km		Glenora Ferry. This ferry service is actually a part of the provincial highway system, so it is free. The trip across the Bay of Quinte takes about 10 min and ferries leave about every 15-min during the summer months. As you leave the ferry you will continue along the Loyalist Parkway (Ontario Highway #33). The 27 km ride from here to Bath is particularly pleasant as Highway #33 is never far from Lake Ontario and has an excellent paved shoulder. You are now in the County of Lennox and Addington - click here for additional information about cycling in this area.
W-T Adolphustown	13 km	Hamlet of Adolphustown, and the United Empire Loyalist Park and Campsite. This is an excellent place to camp for the night, and they have a special cyclists' rate ($10 per night in 2008). The only drawback is that there are no services near the campsite so, if you plan to camp there, stock up in Picton before you leave. Also, bear in mind that the next campsite is not until the Thousand Islands region (90 km away)!
	22 km	Village of Conway (small convenience store at the gas station).
W-T Loyalist	25 km	Village of Sandhurst (no services).
	34 km	Finkle's Shore Park.
W-T Bath	36 km	Town of Bath (most services).
	39 km	Amherst Island ferry wharf. If you are looking for a quiet side trip, Amherst Island could be the place for you! Linked to the mainland by a 20 minute ferry ride, this 70 sq. km. island has a population of only 400. The ferry leaves every hour (on the half-hour), and there is a $1 charge (in 2008) for bicycles.
	40 km	Village of Millhaven.
	47 km	Fairfield Park and Loyalist Parkway Gates. The east gates to the Loyalist Parkway were dedicated by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1984. The United Empire Loyalists were of different racial and religious backgrounds but were united by their loyalty to England. They fled the United States following the War of Independence in the late 1700's and were granted parcels of land in this area by the King of England. There is an excellent park at the gates.
	48 km	Town of Amherstview.
	50 km	Kingston City Limit.
W-T Collins Bay	52 km		Collins Bay. Highway #33 now becomes four lanes and very busy.
	53 km	Shortly after passing the marina, and before the Bayridge Drive overpass (if you get to the "No Frills" grocery store, you have gone too far!), look for the Waterfront Trail sign directing you to the right along a paved bicycle path. After 100 m of trail riding you will reach Coverdale Drive, where you turn right as per the Waterfront Trail sign.
	54 km	Rotary Park. Here, the Waterfront Trail turns left and heads south into Lemoine Point Conservation Area. Although you are following the Waterfront Trail, there was a complete lack of W-T signage through the conservation area as of June 2009!
	55 km	Turn left at the end of the Conservation Area (north) parking area and follow the crushed gravel trail in a southerly direction through the woods.
	56 km	Bear left at the fork in the trail.
W-T Kingston1	57 km	If you have successfully navigated the Conservation Area trails, you should arrive at the south (Front Rd.) parking area. Ride south on the only road available to you and you will shortly find yourself heading west on Front Rd. At this stage, you should be immediately south of the (Kingston) Norman Rogers Airport. You now follow Front Rd. (which later becomes King St. West) for the next 10 km.
W-T Kingston2	66 km	Queens University. It is possible to stay overnight in Victoria Hall during the summer months.
	67 km	At the second set of lights after the Kingston General Hospital, turn right on to West Street, as directed by the Waterfront Trail sign.
	68 km		Downtown Kingston.
