Sophiasburgh

One of the three original townships that formed Prince Edward County in the late 1700s, Sophiasburgh (pronounced Sof-EYE-ahs-burgh) is bordered by the Bay of Quinte and connects to the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory via the Skyway Bridge. County Road 49 is the straight-shot connection between The County and larger roadways to Kingston, Ottawa, Montréal and Québec – try not to get distracted by the views of Picton Bay on your drive.  Dotted with villages on Big Island, in Demorestville, Northport and surrounding Fish Lake, this area is thriving with farmers, musicians, shoreline resorts and entrepreneurs serving up everything local from wine, to jam, honey and even County-made kimchi.
