Millhaven
This village is the landing site of a part of Jessop’s Loyal Rangers in June 1784.

Amherst Island Ferry Dock
Nearby is the Amherst Island ferry dock. For a small fee one can take a side trip to Stella on the Island. This is an important stop for migrating birds and a refuge for a large population of owls in winter. Several famous artists lived and painted here.
Bath
The historic village of Bath features a number of heritage buildings and plaques. For a local map and more information on the many historic sites here see the Parkway Tourist Information Shelter in the park on the north side of the road near the traffic lights. The Layer Cake Hall (Bath library), the Fairfield-Gutzeit House, (late 1700s) open to visitors in season, the Old Town Hall (Bath Museum) and St. John’s Anglican Church should not be missed. There is a park and swimming beach east of the stop light on Main Street.
