By car

Our entire region is most easily accessed from Hwy 401, with a dozen interchanges scattered throughout to take you exactly where you want to go.

For something a little more off the beaten path and a slower pace, take Highway 2 (or County Road 2 as it’s called in some parts) that stretches from Toronto to Cornwall, stopping in various towns and cities along the way. If you’re heading here from Ottawa, you can take Highway 7 to Highway 37 which will run right into Belleville in the centre of our region.

Visit Ontario 511 for provincial traveller information.
