Welcome to Amherst Island
Amherst Island is located in Lake Ontario west of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The island is part of Loyalist Township in Lennox and Addington County. Amherst Island is located about 3 kilometres (2 mi) offshore from the rest of Loyalist Township and access to the island is by way of the Frontenac II ferry from Millhaven.
The main population centre on the island is the village of Stella, which is the where the ferry lands on the island side. Harrowsmith Country Life declared the island’s local hamlet, Stella, as one of the “prettiest towns in Canada”.

The “Lake House” is now complete. As a tag team design build collaboration with my father and a local teenager, it posed certain challenges, but the end result is a commodious 10 square meters. My parents can sit by the lake again ( something they had abandoned over the last couple of years due to declining mobility and a treacherous shoreline of shifting rocks). #amherstisland #hut #shack #gazebo #DIY #aginginplace #lakeontario
