Plan ahead for your next visit to the Bay of Quinte
In the Bay of Quinte, nature is never far. With easy access to trails, beaches, parks, and open water, getting outside is as simple as stepping out the door. Cycle through quiet backroads, paddle along the shoreline, spend the day fishing or geocaching, or post up on a sunny patio.
Where to Go Paddling in the Bay of Quinte Region Have you ever wondered what it would be like to try that boat launch that’s right in town, or the one you’ve so often driven
Take a leisurely cruise along waterfront trails within city limits, or get adventurous on gravel routes and mountain bike trails. This page is your guide for cycling resources in the BoQ and stories from local cyclists to inspire your adventures.
There’s no shortage of provincial parks, rustic rural routes, and unbelievable outdoor urban offerings in the BoQ—and every one of them comes with a breathtaking view. So when we tell you to take a hike, we mean it (in the best way).
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunt where you use GPS to find hidden containers, sign the logbook, and maybe swap a trinket. It’s a fun way to explore the Bay of Quinte—and we’ve added five new BoQ geocaches to the mix of plenty already hidden across the region.
The Bay of Quinte region has become Ontario’s most sought after golf destination. It’s no wonder, with 12 courses, including Black Bear Ridge, one of Score Golf’s Top 100 Courses in Canada, and Trillium Wood, part of the Golfer’s Choice list of top hidden gems.
When I first moved to Belleville, I wish someone had told me how easy it is to explore the city using the bus. For six months, I thought I needed a car to get to know Belleville until I discovered that I could get around easily without one.
The Bay of Quinte is packed with delicious finds made right here in the region, including small-batch cheeses and cured meats, freshly baked goods, beverages, preserves, and handcrafted chocolates. My best friend, Tab, and I set out on a food-fuelled road trip to gather the best local ingredients, stopping at more than a dozen shops, farms, and markets with a bit of snacking along the way.
Rainy days don’t stand a chance in the Bay of Quinte. Strike up some fun at the bowling alley, crack the code in an escape room, or take aim with axe throwing. For something more low-key, kick back with a spa day, flip through your next favourite read at a bookstore, or hit the mall for some retail therapy.
Let’s see what we got!
