Think Belleville’s just a drive-through town? Think again.
I spent a weekend exploring this small Ontario city and was honestly so surprised by how much there is to do and how good the food scene is.
From cozy downtown cafés and scenic hikes to breweries, lookout towers, and day trips by the water… Belleville is serving up way more than I expected for a lowkey summer getaway.
And the best part? Everything’s super easy to get to, so you can fit in nature, great food, and a bit of local charm without overpacking your schedule.

Is this the most beautiful drive in Canada? 🏔️
Between turquoise lakes, towering peaks, and actual glaciers, you’ll want to pull over every five minutes.
If you’re planning a Canadian Rockies road trip, don’t skip the Icefields Parkway. It’s 230 km of pure magic between Jasper and Lake Louise.
📍Must-stop spots:
– Peyto Lake (that wolf shape tho!)
– Bow Lake (early morning reflections = 😍)
– Columbia Icefield & Skywalk
– Athabasca Glacier (yes, you can walk on it)
– Sunwapta & Athabasca Falls
– Endless roadside lookouts you’ll swear belong on a postcard

*Just a few days ago (June 19), a massive rockslide near Bow Lake at the Bow Glacier Falls trail tragically killed two hikers and injured three more. My heart go out to their families, and Parks Canada has temporarily closed the area and cautions visitors to avoid it*
