A beautiful place to live, work and play
We’ll just start this post by saying we love Bath! Bath is a historic lakeside village on the north shore of Lake Ontario, located along the scenic Loyalist Parkway (Hwy 33). Just 20–25 minutes west of Kingston and a short drive to Napanee and Prince Edward County, Bath offers small-town charm with convenient access to nearby cities, CFB Kingston, and regional amenities.
The shoreline and Centennial Park provide direct access to Lake Ontario for swimming, paddling, picnics, and stunning sunset views. The Loyalist Parkway is popular with cyclists and road-trippers for its historic stops, farm landscapes, and lake vistas.
Settled in 1784, Bath is one of the oldest communities in Ontario. The population is 1,180. It is Ward 2 of Loyalist Township, a part of Lennox & Addington County. Loyalist township's council consists of the mayor, deputy mayor, and 5 councillors, one representing Ward 2 (Bath). For such a small community, Bath has a lot to offer.
Things to See and Do
The community hosts year-round events—from weekly summer markets and park concerts to art shows, fundraising breakfasts, Merry Little Main Street in December, and a Canada Day annual celebration that’s a hub of community activity, entertainment, and family-friendly fun.

Bath Canada Day, July 1
Truly, if we didn’t love living on Amherst Island (Lorna in “downtown Stella” and Lynn + family in the country), we’d probably both be somewhere in Bath. A few of our favourite things to do: Welborne Commons for supper, the monthly Lions breakfast, Live Music Sundays in summer, MacKinnon Brothers for local beer, live music, and events, Janasen Lifestyle for clothing & more, and The Hive for local art (gallery and workshops).
Bath Public School is a small JK–8 school in the heart of the village, known for its friendly, close-knit atmosphere and strong community involvement. Families appreciate the walkability, supportive staff, and the small-school feel that comes with living in Bath.
Thinking about buying or selling in Bath?
We have helped many clients moving to and from Bath—from heritage homes on Main Street to the Loyalist Country Club community and the pockets old and new in the east end, on the hill, and in Millhaven. If you’re considering a move in Bath, Ontario or anywhere in Kingston and area, we’d be happy to walk you through the market, neighbourhoods, and next steps. Reach out anytime to start the conversation.
