Summer in Kingston
Kingston is known as the "Limestone City" for its grand 19th-century buildings, including the lakeside Kingston City Hall. The grand house and gardens of the Bellevue House National Historic Site commemorate Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. Fort Henry, built in the 1800s, holds military demonstrations.
In the city centre, Kingston Public Market sells flowers and local produce. Kingston's many lakes and beaches offer kayaking, canoeing, and sailing, while the waterfront features restaurants, gardens, and picnic areas. Freshwater dive sites include the sunken Wolfe Islander II ferry. The Rideau Trail hiking path runs along the shoreline, through huge Lake Ontario Park, and up to the city's northwest outskirts. The Thousand Islands National Park, a large cluster of islands dotted with pine trees and home to the massive German-style Boldt Castle, is a short boat ride away.
