Kingston, Ontario - Located on Lake Ontario almost half way between Toronto and Montreal, the windy waterfront city of Kingston is considered to have some of the best fresh water sailing conditions in the world. Kingston played host to the Olympic Sailing events of 1976. For two weeks year in late August, sailors from around the world travel to Kingston for C.O.R.K., the annual Canadian Olympic Training Regatta. A thousand boats compete and 10,000 people take in the activities from waterfront parks. The six courses reach from the St. Lawrence River well out into Lake Ontario. When visiting Kingston you have easy access to the St. Lawrence River and the Thousand Islands (actually, there are more than 1800). Cruises leave from the city.
