Kingston -- Lake Ontario, the St Lawrence seaway, 1000 Islands

 I chose Kingston for our final visit as it looked promising for both fishing and kayaking. Kingston is on the northeast corner of Lake Ontario and the St Lawerence river. Lots of Canadian history in the area due to its location so close to large rivers and Lake Ontario. Our first visit was Fort Henry. Fort Henry history goes back military fortification during the War of 1812. Currently used as a museum, local high school and college students do reenactments of military life, including tours and shooting the cannon!  




Later we went in search of some possible fishing areas outside of Kingston along what is known as the Rideau Canal.  Several still functioning lochs showing how boats used to travel along these waterways.
