This is an active prison and not open to the public (unless of course you are an inmate). I am mentioning this because if you happened to be driving down Bath Rd you will see it. It is a beautiful structure and is nick named the Barbie building.
The facility was opened in 1930, and is now the oldest operational federal penitentiary in Ontario. The main prison is medium security, with a minimum security facility. A 96-bed maximum security unit became operational when the main Kingston Pen was closed down.

Nature
1440 Coverdale Dr, Kingston, ON.
Lemoine Point Conservation Area is a 4.3 kilometer loop trail that features a lake. The trail is good for all skill levels and is used for hiking, walking, fishing, and canoeing. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. Bring bird seed and whole peanuts. The adults and kids alike enjoy putting food in their hands and have the birds eat right from your palm. The blue jays will dive down and grab the peanuts. A nice quiet place for a walk and enjoy nature.

Outlet and Sandbanks beaches have gradual drop-offs, but the Dunes Beach has a steep drop off and swimmers should take extra caution. Please note: there are no lifeguards posted at the beaches and pets are not permitted except on the designated pet area.
