the best thing to do is leave...

:lol:

[cwb27]

Nothing much really. ;)

Down around the lake is quite nice, if you don't mind a small drive keep heading east to Kingston, and even further east is Gananoque (pronounced Gan-uh-Knock-way) which is a small town at the mouth of the thousand islands.

they have a waterfront festival early july(not exactly sure if it is next weekend of what) It is quite the show as they have a number of rock bands playing each nite and then they have a very good drum and bugle competition with teams from all over the states. people come from all over the cottage area to attend.

and what is there to do in Kingston?

yo can go to the casino

[cwb27]

Kingston has a pretty extensive downtown shopping core, also a lot of older buildings, more or less the standard 'tourist stuff'

If you take the 401 into Kingston there'll be 7 exits, the first will take you to the largest of around 4 shopping centers (2 indoor malls and 2 large 'power centers')

From that mall you can take Princess Street all the way right downtown to the water and essentially the heart of downtown.

That's in Gananoque, about a 30 minute drive east of kingston.

Go to Sandbanks, it's a beautiful beach.

[HeldDown]

Go to Little Texas in Belleville and grind with old cougs in cowboy boots. That's pretty much the only fun I've ever had in Belleville. I worked there for a while.

i went to belleville once, and found the nature scene pretty relaxing, just walking around the parks, ponds etc. was pretty nice, LOL i told the cab driver to take me to belwood conservative park its a camping ground, but he took me to bellville dropped me at some pond area, lol was there for a few hours wondreing around where the heck i am lol, but it was nice and relaxing, and then ended up taking another cab when i found out im in teh wrong area hahaha

You can always go to the Hawkins Cheezies factory... :cheesygri

[jande9]

Dinkle's is a local restaurant. Expensive and very good.

Prince Edward County is south over the bridge. Some nice drives there including winery tours, sandbanks plus Presquile park about 20 miles west.

Trenton has a very interesting flying museum.

Lots of boating and fishing on Bay of Quinte and on the Trent canal.

Lots of interesting antique store around, especially in the countryside. Visit the old lamp museum a bit north, maybe in Stirling.

yea, i'd say head to kingston, you can party with the summer students and take a tour of Queen's U, head over to RMC for a visit to the fort and chill on the lake side restaurants, or you can head over to the 1000 island

[Shaner]

Come to Kingston and I'll give you a tour of Kingston Pen (the most haunted grounds in all of Canada).
Then go hit the bars and pick up hot Queens students

The OP has a gf, which is the reason he's travelling to Belleville in the first place.

resurrecting this thread..

I'd love to know what to do in Belleville as I've lived here for 5 years now and still have no idea what to do on a weekend, especially at night.

Not into the bar scene any more any, sadly enough, wife and I drove to Ikea on Saturday, browsed there for about an hour and came back...just cause we had nothing to do! I actually felt ashamed I couldn't think of anything to spontaneously do afterwardsonce we were done at Ikea (North York), so we just went back home.

Pathetic!

[bikechick]

you could go to the only Ponderosa resteraunt left in Canada?

[KevC]

Kingston's an university town. Find parties at Queens' =)

Ya, go to Prison and then find some ******* at Queens. Remember, that's find *******, not become one in prison.

I'm pretty certain there are a bunch of Ponderosa's in the maritimes

[sfu_engineer]

Homecoming party at Queens' this weekend. Last year was crazy .. (ie. flipping cars and setting them aflame!) :eek:

[JohnB]

You could visit the giant apple.

[HeldDown]

The Big Apple's not in Belleville. It's almost an hour WEST of Belleville.
