Kingston was originally settled by Loyalists who came to Canada
after the American War of Independence. Believe it or not, in this
rural area they used to have sawmills, shipyards and nail factories,
as well as hotels and the area courthouse and jail. When you visit,
ask us about the story of the famous escape artist who never seemed
to stay put in jail for very long.
Today, Kingston is quite different. It is peaceful - with a typical
country ambience. However, there's still lots to do around
Kingston. In addition to exploring nearby Saint John, you can
bike
our roads, go canoeing, hunt for fiddleheads (a delicious Maritime
spring-time treat), hike along lonely rural roads, discover the
local bird life, explore pottery and craft stores, discover wonderful
goodies at the two local farmers markets, rub some ancient gravestones,
visit a museum, explore a sugar maple farm, hike through blueberry
fields, sit at the riverside you may see beavers at work, or enjoy
lunch and a pot of tea at the Heritage 1810 Carter house! For those
who plan to stay longer, don't pass up the opportunity to take one
of Freeman
Patterson's famed photography workshops.
The peninsula is lovely in each season; however, it shines in the
autumn. The days are warm, the nights crisp and the forests are
ablaze with crimson and sunset coloured leaves. Canoeing the rivers
during this time is a treat you will never forget!
There are many scenic drives. You can take a circular route around
the peninsula or you can drive around Belleisle Bay, take a cable
ferry across, take another one, drive down the Saint John River,
and then cross over to the peninsula again at Westfield. Whichever
way you choose, you'll see some of the loveliest scenery in New
Brunswick.
