Belong Sharbot Lake
Prepare to be amazed as you discover the beauty and tranquility of this hidden gem in Ontario. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery from the shoreline restaurant Belong where your journey through taste will begin. Chef Brad Long is recognized as one of the top chefs in Canada. He’s an active advocate for sustainable farming, sourcing food for his restaurant from local farmers and guaranteeing that his dishes are always fresh.
Option to Walk the K & P Trail
Named after the historic Kingston and Pembroke Railway that once ran along its route, the K & P now offers outdoor enthusiasts a scenic pathway for activities such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing, depending on the season. Along this section of the K & P, from the village of Sharbot Lake to Hwy 7, the trail winds its way along the shores of Sharbot Lake and Twin Lake, through forest and a wetland. Get picked up at the Round Lake meetup spot. The trail is flat and suitable for most. The walk is 50 minutes.
Kick & Push (K & P) Brewery
We know how thirsty one can get after a trek through the woods. Adding to the growing ‘foodie scene’ is the K & P Brewery. Now you can relax and let your palate do the wandering. This is where locals and newcomers alike connect over good conversation and great beer.
Back Forty Artisan Cheese
Nestled in the heart of the countryside, Back Forty Artisan Cheese is a haven for cheese enthusiasts and lovers of fine craftsmanship. Their small-batch cheese-making operation is a labour of love, rooted in tradition and fueled by passion. Their shop offers a full selection of their raw-sheep’s milk cheeses, as well as a range of locally made products including cured meats, honey, maple syrup, chocolate, coffee beans, preserves and Back Forty’s own farm raised grass-fed organic lamb, Highland Beef, and whey-fed pork.
Before exploring the shop, enjoy a farm-to-table lunch in their outdoor live fire kitchen. All the produce served is grown in Back Forty’s organic garden and the meats are all raised on the farm. Their licensed riverside patio features Ontario craft beer, cider, and wine.

Along the banks of a gentle river, amidst rolling vineyards and serene landscapes, River House Vineyard and Winery invites you to experience the artistry of wine-making in its purest form. With meticulous attention to detail and a reverence for the craft, they coax out the true essence of each varietal, resulting in wines that delight the senses and elevate the spirit.
