Kingston is a city in the province of Ontario located at the eastern end of Lake Ontario. The central part of the city is located between the Cataraqui River to the east and the Little Cataraqui Creek to the West. The Little Cataraqui Creek is a watercourse, much of which is a semi urban wetland, that emptys into Lake Ontario within the municipality of Kingston. Further inland, just north of Highway 401, the creek has been dammed to form a reservoir that is part of the Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area.
