Cycling.
The K&P Trail crosses Central Frontenac on the abandoned Kingston & Pembroke Railway corridor, with Sharbot Lake village at the historic mid-line junction. Frontenac County stewards the in-county surface — largely stone-dust and improved gravel — making it suitable for hybrid bikes, gravel bikes, and e-bikes, with the Sharbot Lake station site as the natural midway stop.
The brief.
The K&P Trail runs roughly 180 km on the original Kingston-to-Renfrew corridor; Frontenac County operates the trail through the township as a multi-use corridor (cycling, walking, snowmobiling in winter, ATV use on designated sections per local sign). Surface and access vary by jurisdiction — within Frontenac County the surface is mostly stone-dust / improved gravel.
Best season is May through October. Sharbot Lake village is the natural rest-and-resupply midway, with restaurants and small shops on Highway 7.
The trail forms part of the Trans Canada Trail through eastern Ontario, with onward connection at Sharbot Lake toward Smiths Falls.
