Belleville.

Belleville sits on the north shore of the Bay of Quinte at the mouth of the Moira River, the Hastings County seat between Quinte West to the west and Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory to the east. The Bayshore Trail runs the city's Bay of Quinte waterfront from West Zwick's Centennial Park east toward Meyers Pier, where the municipal marina opens to the open Bay of Quinte and onward — east toward Tyendinaga and Kingston, or west across the Bay of Quinte to Trent–Severn Lock 1 in Trenton.

Quinte Conservation manages the H.R. Frink Outdoor Education Centre's 200-hectare cattail marsh and forest north of the city, with Vanderwater Conservation Area on the Moira River further upstream.

The Bay of Quinte itself is one of Canada's recognized walleye fisheries, with Belleville as the north-shore population centre for both the open-water and winter ice fishery. Glanmore National Historic Site, an 1883 Second Empire mansion at the edge of downtown, anchors the heritage core.

A few hours from the GTA on the Toronto–Montreal corridor.
