Kingston’s Dog Lake
??

Kingston Mills
Get off the 401 at Montreal Street and head North. At Kingston Mills road turn right. Follow this road until you see the locks there is a parking lot on the west side park there. Follow the path along side the locks until you see the cliff.

Morton Rock is another spot Ottawa area climbers have been visiting. This out of the way, single pitch crag is located midway between Smiths Falls and Kingston on Highway 15. It is situated just north of Morton and Morton Creek, a short walk west of the highway. A private drive leading almost to the base of the cliff should not be employed for access; use the gate located between the private road and the road cut to the north. Hike uphill.

 Calabogie Lake Cliff - Easy access off Barret Chute Road

 Lake Dore near Renfrew

 Landon's Bay - Gannanoque

 Little Blue Mountain - Gannanoque

 Mortons Rock

Unclimbed large face near Round Lake. Access difficult without land owner negotiation to access cliff. Ether long ATV ride off Tramemore Road coming in from Decon OR 4-5km bushwack, including swamp and creeks off Round Lake Road. Cliff face is a few hundred meters long if I recall correctly from my teen years. Access is a joke if you come in from Red Rock Road, potentially a drive up cliff.

 St Patrick Mnts Escarpment. There are potentialy dozens of faces in and around this area.

 Unclimbed face near Round Lake, Easily visible from Traemore Road.
