Presqu'ile Point, Prince Edward County, Ontario

A good motorcycle ride through Prince Edward County normally includes a stop at, or around, Presqu'ile off old Hwy 2.

Presqu'ile is an Ontario Park with a long sandy beach and a Lighthouse Interpretive Centre on the edge of the peninsula.

To reach Presqu’ile you can turn right onto Harbour Street. At the end, turn right again on Ontario Street, and then make a left turn on Presqu’ile Parkway (CR 66). This will take you directly into the Park. Photo by jaros 2(Ron)

The Lighthouse Interpretive Centre (LIC) is located at the end of Lighthouse Lane within the shadow of the historic Presqu'ile lighthouse. It is a unique blend of old and new architecture as the modern air-conditioned building incorporates the original lighthouse keeper's cottage, built in 1846, into its design. The Lighthouse Interpretive Centre is open 10:00 am to 5:00 pm every day between Canada Day weekend and Labour Day weekend and 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on weekends in spring and fall. The Presqu'isle Park covers almost 1000 hectares of natural environment established in 1922. Call 613-475-4324 for more info.
