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.

Birdhouse City – Just on the southern city limits of Picton, Ontario lies a community park filled with more than 100 birdhouses called Birdhouse City. Birdhouse City is a miniature community of purposeful and whimsical hand-crafted birdhouses depicting the unique character, culture, and history of Prince Edward County. It started as a hobby of Doug Harnes a former superintendent with the local conservation authority.
