This place is serenely quite if you like to walk. Bikes have been banned but beware of surprise doggie droppings. The view onto Lake Ontario is spectacular!

The trails can get muddy in the spring, but it travels along the waterfront and has some nice views. There is a park and a off leash dog park at one end. The wildlife are tame-ish, so you get to see lots of it!

This is a great conservation area with lots of wildlife to enjoy! We saw lots of birds and it's easy to get around, 2 thumbs up!

Lemoine Point Conservation Area is ideally located on shores of lake Ontario. You would enjoy soft breeze coming through mature maple and oak trees. Natural and man made trails are ideal for beginners as well as avid hikers.

A fine network of hiking trails runs through this conservation area. There are several the parallel the Lake Ontario/Collins Bay shorelines and there are some views to be had, particularly when there's a storm and west wind. Make sure you take a map, it's easy to get turned around on the extensive trails.

Beautiful walking trails were little chick-a-sees will eat right out of your hand. A lovely place to get back to nature with your children.

This place is tranquil, beautiful and full of life. From birds to deers to chipmunks and squirrels. Great place for a walk, hike jog take pictures or even a wedding. I was married here and will keep coming back.

Lemoine Point has a number of intersecting trails in a mostly forest setting. The area is well-traveled by hikers, dog-walkers, joggers and cyclists (on some trails). It is a great place to get away for a 30 minute to 2 hour walk. Both access points include free parking.The only improvement I would like to see is better marked trails. You won't get completely lost, but you may end up out there for longer than you wanted if you don't bring a map.

It is truly beautiful there, and well managed. the trails are gravelled, the smaller ones are currently leaf covered. the views of the forest and the lakeshore experience is very nice.It makes for a lovely walk, and you can choose different trails for different lengths. bicycling is allowed.I seem to have picked up a tick there- so do be careful to check yourself when you get home.

Went several times to hike and enjoy the natural area, it is wonderful to have such a beautiful walking area near the City.

I'm fortunate to live near the conservation area and having just moved to the area, I've been on lots of sightseeing trips. Lemoine Point has become my favourite area in Kingston because it's so beautiful and peaceful. Weekends are the busiest time here, although Sunday seems a little quieter than Saturday, and during the week it's fairly easy to avoid other people. There's a lot of wildlife here and the hummingbirds are my favourite! It's on the shores of Lake Ontario and there's quite a few viewpoints along the edges of the forest, there's meadows, marshes and a few other environments, all offering their own wildlife and scenery. Definitely come here!

a group of friends with kids from the ages of 2-12 did a loop and stopped to skip rocks in Lake Ontario.had a great time.

Really nice trails. Unfortunately you cannot sit anywhere near the water. It's a great place to go for a run or even a walk with the kids. It will take about 1.5 hours if you take your time.

This is a large lump of land that sits on the lakefront but it is not a walk along the lakefront because the path is set back and there are trees obscuring the view. There are places which do lead to the water but not many. Plenty of birds and wildlife and joggersand picnic areas. A good place for a longer (easy to do 4-5 km) nature walk.

Isn't it funny how you can live in an area and never visit a certain place? Approximately an hour away from where we live and I had never had the opportunity to enjoy this conservation area in Kingston, Ontario. The kids and I enjoyed walking along the paths and looking out onto Lake Ontario.
