Lemoine Point is a great place to go for a nice walk any time of the year. You’ll see a lot of dog walkers and runners, and a lot of people just taking a leisurely stroll. There’s a fair number of trails, some more travelled than others. You can choose whether you want a busier trail, or a quieter one. One awesome thing I remember about Lemoine Point from my childhood is feeding chickadees during the winter. You have to bring your birdseed, and just go walking until you find the swarm of chickadees. Sometimes you’re lucky or just have the patience to find them, and when you do, it’s so cool! You just hold your hand out and one by one, they land on your hand, nibble away and then fly back up into the trees. Very memorable.

Lemoine Point is a beautiful park area in all seasons. I’m constantly surprised by the range of wildlife you can observe — and close up, I might add! There are a range of trails to follow that wind around the point and you can cover at least 5 km in a loop. Bicycles are allowed on certain paths, while only runners and walkers are allowed in other areas. There are plenty of picnic areas and benches and the wooded areas overlooking the water are a great photo op. It’s a beautiful place that Kingston is lucky to have within reach of downtown.
