Nice walkway with relaxing scenery.

Charmi Mehta

Very nice and decent place. But its very hard to find parking nearby during weekends. We have to park our car far away and walk all the way to here. It used to be super crowded during weekends but its very peaceful place to relax in evenings.

Norm Morrison

Nice

Marty George

The view is nice although currently as of June 23rd the water has risen to the point in which you are not allowed to walk in certain areas they have blocked off the Walking path around one of the hotel's because the water is almost the exact height as the concrete.

heidi schernekau

Kingstons waterfront is beautiful.

Ash Lamba

The tranquil waterfront offers a picturesque view of the lake. The trail is about 8kms. You can walk, take a ferry to Wolfe island or just sit and relax and have breakfast near the lake. The Kingston’s shores are home to the Kingston Rowing Club, Yacht Club and Canadian Olympic-training Regatta.

(Translated) On a very hot day, it was a very satisfying getaway with the wind and the kids playing in the water. It's a beautiful place (Original) Par une journée très chaude, ce fut une escapade très satisfaisante avec le vent et les enfants qui jouent dans l'eau. C'est un lieu magnifique

Courtney “Corky” Nelson

Such a peaceful walk with some headphones in

Darlene Belanger

Beautiful to walk along the water front in Kingston.

Maria N. Angelova

Beautiful place! Around the water is quiet, no much wind, because of the buildings around. And there are restaurants at the water and not far from there with exceptional great food. Love going there.

Bob Miller

Great fishing . But massive Gobies. Check out the pix

Its beautiful, nice , and calming

Hugh McBratney

Kingston is a very underrated City in Ontario. They have a beautiful Waterfront and very close access to tons of nature nearby. A pretty rich history from the city too means that there is not such a nice old buildings and architecture to be seen in the city centre. I think I will be coming here again just to spend a few days and to check the place out a little more.

Steph Bryan

Beautiful walking path near the river. Absolutely gorgeous views. Nice place to walk the dogs in the spring, summer, or fall. Will definitely visit again soon!

I hav grown up in Kingston and scene our waterfront go thru many changes in my 40plus yrs. From being nothing more then just an overgrown dirt pathway to the beautiful and useful asset to this city and our tourist seasons. Now a days there are many different options available to utilize our waterfront. Such as the few beautiful hotels that hav been built along its dwntwn area. Such as Holiday Inn Confederation Hotel& The Delta Hotel. As well as fine eating establishments or Hopping Bars, such as Lonestar Restaurant & its Beautiful Seasonal Patio called Margaritaville, Dianne's Fish&Chips, and The Blue Martini, just to name a couple. Then there are some of the more recent upgrades and beauty filled options, like the KC3 Trail that runs from approximately the bottom end of Catarqui St at the Whig Building all along the waterfront down Ontario St, to King St, all long King St to Lake Ontario Park. Another wonderful asset of Kingston's that has served the area with many uses over the last 50 or so years. While traveling along this pathway you can come across many spots of interests, and options. Places like Confederation Park directly across from city hall. This park hosts different events including music concerts during late spring into early fall. With different genres of music on different days×, to cultural fairs/events, & the ever popular Buskers Rendezvous. This is also the docking/loading area for 1000 Island Cruises outta Kingston. As well as historic stops like the historical train station that is now a tourist information stop& souvenir shop. Then travel on dwn Ontario St& up around the bend onto King St which will lead you to our Hospital, and Kingstons probly newest asset the revised and updated swimming area& Gord Downy Pier. Used to be along here the only real/ actual designated swimming area was What was called Richardson Beach when I was a kid. Located directly across from Kingston's City Park. There is a beautiful historic building which these days houses public bathrooms&changing rooms. I'm not sure what it was originally though. Infront of said historic limestone building is the original in city Beach. It has some grassy knowledge, as well as a rock beachfront, and cement steps into it. The original stairs into the water are just to the right of the building but unfortunately time has not been kind to them and they are no longer usable. Personally I hold out hope that they will update this area as they continue to beautiful our waterfront over the next few yrs. Also on this site or property if you prefer is a large sized Gazebo, that many wedding parties use for the ceremonies and wedding pictures, as well as grad pics. Then there is the historic Murney tower which is designated a Museum and one to the public for touring. I do believe a small fee applies. Then travel a little further & you come along our newest swimming area i mentioned above, with has 4 I do believe walk in inlet openings to access water for swimming type activities and comes to a final end at the Gord Downy Pier which was formerly the PUC Docks. There is a sand play area for kids or beach activities like volleyball, as well as the pier to allow access to the water. However currently there are no washrooms or changing rooms at this end of the section of waterfront along King St. But I do understand there is plans of building such facilities at an undetermined future date. If you continue traveling along King St which runs parallel to Kingston waterfront, you will come across many other attractions etc. Like but not Limited to the Historic Kingston Penitentiary, the Portsmouth Harbour which in past history has hosted the Olympic Summer games, & The Domino/ Threatre 5 Playhouse. As many other intriguing and very interesting places to entice a bit of everyone's preferences. So if your planning to visit our beautiful and VERY historic city of Kingston, Ontario, be sure to make time to visit a couple of these options. You won't be sorry. There is always smthg to make you smile in Kingston. Happy Trails

Marc Loran

Very nice, scenic location.

Abhishek Pandey

Great place to spend off winter evenings. Small town charm full of memorabilia of erstwhile Railway station. Ducks, turtles, birds and pets give you and the little ones company as you sit on the grass and look over the Bay. Good restaurants and pubs around.

Marie Lloyd

Kingston's the best. Its size- not too large but with incredibly rich cultural facilities and nearby them a long stretch of lakefront, now being extended and improved by the summer's end. A rich array of restored nineteenth century architecture and endless restaurant choices. It lacks nothing.

Great views and calm paths to walk.

This is just lovely. So many photo ops for the young grammers! If you are driving through it's a must stop, gives you something to do while you stretch. It's also a good place for a nice romantic/family evening with a few food places along.
