Before you depart today, we recommend you take some time to visit Fort Henry National Historic near Kingston. The flash of scarlet uniforms, the beating of the drums and the sudden crack of musket fire echoing off the limestone battlements send visitors reeling back in time. A living museum of military life, Fort Henry was built between 1832 and 1834 to repel an American invasion that never came. The fort, once the largest military establishment in Upper Canada, now offers visitors a glimpse of a soldier’s life in those days. Whilst en route to Toronto, be sure to stop in the city of Peterborough, which boasts the world’s highest lift locks, literally lifting pleasure crafts, along with the water they float in, 20 metres straight up.

When you arrive back in Toronto, return your rental vehicle at the depot and make your way to the airport to catch your flight home.
