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”.
This page is offered and maintained by the Amherst Island Community Alliance.

He’s back to Amherst Island to take down his Light Across Canada exhibition at The Lodge on MacDonald’s Lane. A few more 🔴 red dots. He’s eternally grateful. He didn’t get there on his own
With a stop on the south shore, never tiring of listening to the wind and the waves
“The Lodge on Amherst Island is a place where writers, musicians, artists and others can share their talents and where anyone can gather to learn, reflect and enjoy their surroundings. The Lodge offers gracious accommodation plus varied spaces for large and small group events (including workshops/instruction)” from Lodge’s website, he’s done all of that here, including several solo shows, thank you Molly

Rossland Gardens heritage Granny Smith apples. They are incredibly delicious, and I’m going to process them like the tomatoes; slow roasted applewood smoked with spices and Amherst Island honey. #heritagestyle #slowfood #homesteadlife #organicpreserves #canningseason #amherstisland #amherstislandmade

Had a fun time teaching a restoration course on Amherst island this weekend . The original wall was 120 years old (old for Canada). Great to catch up with some of the locals and meet a bunch of new friends. The group worked super hard. I tried to limit hammer use to none, and I think they put up a strong piece of walling.

Queen Cedar
She looks o`r her domain.
The Kingdom of Coo.
"I`m kind`a a big deal"
The farmer servants to provide the meals.
Entertain me now, thou flock of sheep.
The woofy floofs to guard the keep.
Willow sighs and rolls her eyes.
"Her big, red ass attracts biting flies".
The Queen shall say no more on this day of days.
Her servants have just brought more hay.
