Prince Edward County

An Island Adventure 2 hrs East of Toronto

But A Million Miles Away From "Stress"

Prince Edward County, fondly known as "The County" by residents and visitors,  boasts a unique island character with a dynamic and diverse economy from traditional agriculture with a burgeoning wine industry, to filmaking and information technology.  Why not live where you love to visit.  This is "The County"!  Great foods, wines, golfing, fishing, birding, sailing and Ontario's most fabulous beaches are just around the corner. 

Prince Edward County is located in Ontario's "golden triangle" nestled quietly between Toronto and Ottawa. It was said that for more then 12,000 years a sculptress shaped the western shoreline of The County using the winds and waves of Lake Ontario to create the largest sandbar and dune systems in the world!  There are many places called "paradise" but once you have turned South off the 401 over "The Bridges of Ontario's County" it is like stepping into an artists’ canvas.

The County has a long and colorful history and was settled by the United Empire Loyalists in the 1780's with Barley Barons, Rum-Runners, Pirates and shipwrecks. Our majestic Court-House (and infamous twin gallows), was where the esteemed Sir. John A. MacDonald first practiced law.

Picton has a population of approximently 5000, but boasts big town amenities!  It's a mecca for artists, cultural events and has a unbelievable compliment of world class restaurants!  You will find friendly small town stores and country attitudes here.  Discover our charm and enjoy our convenient location two hours either way to Toronto or Ottawa!
