Picton is an unincorporated community located in Prince Edward County in southeastern Ontario, roughly 160 km east of Toronto. It is the county's largest community and former seat located at the southwestern end of Picton Bay, a branch of the Bay of Quinte, which is along the northern shoreline of Lake Ontario. The Town of Picton offers excellent shopping facilities, live theater, fine heritage homes and public buildings, a beautiful harbour and marina as well as six municipal parks including the grand Macaulay Heritage Park. The County Youthpark provides the space for both youth to enjoy the park and also provides space for the young and young at heart to enjoy the innovative playground. A canteen is open during the summer to sell small food items. The Picton BIA represents the voice of business and includes the owners and tenants of more than 200 commercial properties in the Town. Its members support numerous charitable activities in the region, including the Picton Santa Claus Parade.
Prince Edward County is a largely agricultural area. As such dairying and meat, fruit and vegetable processing and storage are relatively common. There is a light industrial park in the town which has several modest manufacturing businesses making goods such as refrigeration products and filtered bottled water. In recent years, many artisans and artists have moved to the area and opened studios. In many of the local stores one can purchase local art and hand-crafted products. These products are beginning to play a more serious role in the local economy. In addition, there has been a proliferation of small wineries in the southern half of the county.
