How to get out Kingston (Ontario)
Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area: This conservation area is north of the 401, so you'll need a car (or bike) to get there from downtown. There is a small fee to enter the park. In the summer, you can go hiking, canoeing or kayaking. In the winter, you can go snowshoeing, cross country skiing, or skate on the pond. They offer rentals and lessons for many of these activities.
Wolfe Island, . Ferries from Kingston to Wolfe island are free and run hourly. Cycling on Wolfe Island is much less hectic than in Kingston proper. George Pyke's Strawberry farm is a good destination (~25 km round trip from ferry) in late June, and can easily make for a day long trip. Contra dancing happens regularly throughout the year either at Wolfe Island town hall, or some Kingston location.
Fruition Berry Farm, . Kingston's favourite strawberry farm is just off Hwy 15 (at Hughes Road) just five miles north of the 401. Open from June to October, weather and crop conditions permitting, Fruition Berry Farm offers pick-your-own Strawberries, Raspberries, Peas, Beans and fall Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch! Enjoy a picnic, nature walk or childrens' playground in a beautiful country setting.
Frontenac Provincial Park is just 30 minutes drive from Kingston central and provides opportunities for walking and picnicking.
