Picton Terminals is an inland port in Lake Ontario, on the north shore of Hallowell Mills Cove, in the town of Picton, Ontario, Canada.
The port was built in the 1950s by Bethlehem Steel to facilitate the transhipment of iron ore mined in Marmora and conveyed to Picton via rail and, after the Marmoraton mine shut down in 1978, activity at the port diminished drastically with annual loads of sodium chloride delivered by ship occurring most falls from the 1980s until 2019.[citation needed] An additional terminal for agriculture is planned for 2026.[2]

The port is made up of several port facilities, including Marine Terminal 51, Warehouse 52, and the International Marine Passenger Terminal. There are 3 miles (4.8 km) of deep-water wharfage for the loading and unloading of bulk products. Marine terminals include inside and outside storage, and some 6,000 square feet (560 m2) of berthing space for ships carrying general cargo.[3]
