GREATER NAPANEE

GREATER FOR MANY REASONS

Just south of Hwy 401 lies the heart of one of Ontario’s prettiest small towns with a river running through it. The community has proud rural roots while acknowledging the opportunities available here. Napanee offers small-town appeal with a rich history; our boutiques, beautiful architecture, and public spaces appear much as they did when Napanee was a prosperous trading centre in Ontario.

Greater Napanee is on the eastern end of the Bay of Quinte, and is the county seat of Lennox and Addington. A short drive west from Kingston will bring you right into Downtown Greater Napanee, where the Napanee River bisects the town.
