Life on the Water
The Bay of Quinte is a long, narrow bay off the north side of Lake Ontario offering sheltered waters for 4 season fun. The region is also home to the Trent River, in Quinte West and is the gateway to the 386 km Trent-Severn Waterway. Through a series of over 40 locks it connects Lake Ontario to Lake Huron.
