Things to see near your Kingston pickup
Fort Henry National Historic Site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is Kingston’s premier attraction — interactive exhibits, live military demonstrations and (in summer) a sunset ceremony, with views over the St. Lawrence River from the fort walls. Downtown, the pedestrian-friendly waterfront has the Kingston Public Market and access to Thousand Islands cruises, many stopping at Boldt Castle and Singer Castle. The Kingston Penitentiary, which operated for over 170 years, now runs as a tour site on Canada’s prison history, and a ferry runs across to Wolfe Island for cycling.
Best road trips from Kingston
- The Thousand Islands Parkway — right along the St. Lawrence River, spectacular fall colour and river views the whole way.

- Toronto — about 260 km, a natural next stop west, roughly 3 hours.
Driving around Kingston
Highway 401 runs directly through the Kingston area and is the main east-west route between Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa and Montreal — generally straightforward but can see heavy holiday-weekend traffic. The Thousand Islands Parkway is a slower, more scenic alternative to the 401 for the stretch it covers, worth the extra time if you’re not in a hurry.
When to travel
Late May through late September is the main season; June offers warmer weather with thinner crowds than midsummer. Fall (September into early October) brings some of the best colour in the region along the Thousand Islands Parkway.

How far is the US border from Kingston?
The Thousand Islands Bridge at Lansdowne crosses into New York State and is about 51 km east of Kingston on Highway 401 (exit 661). Taking a rental across the border usually needs the owner's written permission and insurance that covers the United States, so confirm before you book. Have passports ready, and check wait times on the CBSA site.
Can I take an RV on the Wolfe Island ferry from Kingston?
The Wolfe Island ferry is free and carries vehicles, but it has a height limit of 4.3 m (14 ft 1 in), which covers most motorhomes. Crossings are short but queues form in summer and the service can be disrupted by repairs or weather, so check Ontario's ferry service page before you go.
