Topsy Farms

Topsy Farms is an eco-ethical family-run sheep farm with three generations contributing to its operation. You can follow the adventure @topsyfarms. Their farm-gate store, ‘The Wool Shed,’ offers a range of wool blankets and other fine products (curbside pickup available). Topsy also welcomes visitors to enjoy their groomed 2 km walking trail year-round (weather & conditions permitting).

Angling & Fishing

Lake Ontario's increased stocking programs, improved water quality and a large number of fishing charter services have contributed to a sustained interest in our area's fishing opportunities.

Birding

There is a world-reknowned bird sanctuary on the most southeasterly corner of the Island, as well as the famous “Owl Woods”. For more information about Birdwatching on the Island please visit The Kingston Field Naturalists (KFN) website.

Sailing

The waters off Amherst Island offer some of the best fresh-water sailing in the world. The CORK Regatta Series are held in Kingston each year. Numerous World and North American Championships take place in July and the annual Fall Regatta is held at the end of September.
