Getting Around

Navigate The County with Ease

Plan Your Route

Prince Edward County is a beautiful and unique destination, but it's important to understand that everything here is far apart. The route you take to get from one spot to another often feels longer than the actual distance because of The County’s scenic geographic features and bodies of water. From east to west, and north to south, The County spans about an hour across. This means when you're planning a trip, everything requires careful coordination to make the most of your time here.

Most of the best experiences are located across different parts of The County, so strategic planning will help you maximize your time. Carefully planning your transportation, especially if you’re planning to visit a couple of bevy spots or attend a special event, is important. Designate a driver from your group or make sure to organize transportation in advance.
