It's Always a Good Time to Visit The County!
​
No matter what time of year you're visiting Prince Edward County there are adventures around every corner.  

 

Just a short drive to the stunning white sand dune beaches of Sandbanks Provincial Park or the curious Lake on The Mountain with a constant flow of clean, fresh water, with no apparent source which sits 60 meters above Lake Ontario.  The charming towns of Bloomfield and Wellington are also a short drive away.  The Farmers Market in Wellington and roadside stands throughout The County are a great chance to meet local farmers, artisans, bakers and get a taste of the local fare.
 

You will find over 40 winemakers in one of the fastest growing wine-regions in Canada.  There is also a burgeoning craft beer, cider and spirits scene to be explored.  Make a day of it and tour the “Gastronomic Capital of Ontario”!  You can plan your own tour or hire a local company or guide to take you around.  Hike, run or cycle The County on the 49-kilometer long Millennium Trail (or make it a pub crawl… visit The County Social Map to find your stops along the way).  Jump on the trail in Picton at Johnson Steet or beside the Agrarian market.

For cycling enthusiasts, you can find area maps and more information at Visit the County and Bloomfield Bicycle.  Maps of the Millennium Trail can be found on PEC Trails.  Beacon Bike + Brew is a cafe and snack bar with full service bike repair located at 188 Main St in Picton.   

 

Interested in the Art and Music scene?  Head to Base 31 for a variety of options and events including live music, museums, historical walking tours, the Regent Theatre, the famous PEC Barn Quilts Trail, the Mustang Drive-In, or a dance party at the Hayloft Dancehall. ​​

From the maple syrup festival, sheep sheerings and the birding festival in the Spring to scenic fall foliage tours, grape harvesting and the pumpkin festival in the Fall, The County has something for everyone at all times of the year including the winter with ice fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and skating on Picton Harbour.
