“Carrying Place” – Marc Keelan-Bishop **New 2023

Carrying Place is a community straddling the Quine West and Prince Edward County border that serves as a gateway to The County. It was named for its location on the portage between the Bay of Quinte and Weller’s Bay on Lake Ontario.  The Loyalist Parkway (HWY33) passes through the community.  Once a major stagecoach stop on the old Danforth Road now Loyalist Parkway, Carrying Place is still a milestone for travelers as they cross the canal that made Prince Edward County into an island.
