Wolfe Island Ferry on Jnauary 31 2013 leaving its Dawson Point dock ( far left). It had skipped the previous run because of high waves, so this is about as rough as they will sail in. The ride is free, as is the car wash for up to 55 cars at a time.

Former Bajus Brewery with oak barrels built into the wall near the top. The 3 story part was built in 1861, the south wing may day back to 1794 making it one of the oldest structures in Ontario. In 1842 Kingston had 136 licensed taverns and a population of about 8,500 people.
Skuttled schooner on Garden Island. One of a dozen in the Kingston area, visible in the fall at low water levels and when the water is the clearest. It is all below water in the summer. Over 150 years old. One of about 80 boats operating out of Kingston which were no longer needed when the rail way began in 1855.

Some wet lands at the Little Cataraqui Conservation Area. Late spring.
A beautiful place for senior citizens and families to stroll through a mature forest, near the city. The only honking you hear is geese flying overhead.

Whitney Manor, built in 1817 of limestone. There were only about 300 houses in Kingston at that time. It would have been a full hours walk each way and a ferry ride across the Cataraqui River. It would have employed a person full time just getting enough fire wood for the winter.
The Rideau Trail goes from Kingston to Ottawa through here. Just follow the orange arrows to Ottawa, or the yellow tipped orange ones to Kingston. Maintained by volunteers of the Rideau Trail Association. They are mostly senior citizens too.
The Rideau Trail. It's not Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island, but it is close to home.

All the shore line around Snake Island is covered with water foul. It is also foul smelling down wind.

Sunken schooner in Dead Man's Bay in very shallow water. Best seen in the fall when the water levels are low and the water clear. No diving needed. About 50 m. from the very end of the bay.
Sometimes there are a lot of water birds at this view point on the Little Cataraqui Creek.
Storm tossed waves, ice and spray coat the cars at the Dawson Point dock on Wolfe Island.
Salmon Island has always just been a gravel shoal and nothing more.
Interesting old stone building, purpose unknown. Built about 1850. There appears to be some back filling against the building on this side since it was built.
