After Belleville, the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail formally resumes in Deseronto where you’ll see signs marking the way. You have two choices -stay on Main St, and continue to Napanee or detour onto Water St to get a closer look at the Bay of Quinte.
Centennial Park affords some lovely views of Deseronto Yacht Club and its charming boathouses. Moments away, in downtown Deseronto, you’ll see the historic Town Hall in the beautiful Rathbun Park, and the Post Office, one of five post offices in Canada recognized by Canada Post for its architecture and heritage. The Town’s website provides great information on the history, culture, festivals and attractions including a self-guided tour.
