The county also has plenty of breweries worth checking out as well!
Take a Hike

The Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail is Quinte West's part of the 1,400 km Great Lakes trail and offers everything from walking and jogging to cross-country skiing and horseback riding. The Frankford Tourist Park contains one of the largest glacial erratics in North America and a 2-million-pound boulder that’s 2.3 billion years old. The area is also home to a wide variety of trees, flowers, ferns, birds and wildlife.
Go Antiquing

Mary’s Place Treasures is a community favourite and a fantastic place to procure little nostalgic treasures. Antiques on Queen is a three-storey antique shop located in Port Hope that specializes in estate jewellery.
Visit the Trenton Farmer’s Market
Open from May to November every Wednesday and Saturday, from 7 am to 2 pm, the Trenton Farmer's Market is a beloved market that folks from all over the area flock to for fresh produce, baked goods, maple syrup, honey, preserves and more. Located on Front Street, along the Trent-Severn Canal, this market is confined to people and businesses that "Make It, Bake It, or Grow It," meaning all the products you’ll find have been produced or grown on the seller's land. Get there early since items tend to sell out fast!
