Trenton

Trenton is a town in Quinte West situated on the shore of the Bay of Quinte. It spreads across waterfront areas with residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, and a working harbor that forms its center.

The town began as a trading post in 1784 and later became Canada's principal military aviation base. This shift reflects how the region transformed as air transportation grew in importance over the following centuries.

The Trenton Fair brings together local farmers, artisans, and residents each year to display agricultural products and traditional crafts of the region.

The area can be explored on foot or by bike using paths that run along the shore toward the harbor and through neighborhoods. Visitors should consider the season, as conditions by the water and in outdoor areas vary greatly depending on weather patterns.

The Trent-Severn Waterway begins here and connects Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay through a system of locks. This historic water route allows visitors to travel through interconnected lakes and rivers that extend far into the interior landscape.
