Addington Highlands is bustling with activity during the warm weather months. The municipality’s population balloons in the summer when cottagers and seasonal campers trek to the plethora of locations available. There are so many choices for water recreation, and Bon Echo Provincial Park is Lennox & Addington’s top tourist attraction, and rightly so. It’s a truly incredible place to visit.

But it’s December. Most cottages are closed up for the season, Bon Echo won’t re-open their gates until May, and if you want to go for a polar bear dip in Weslemkoon Lake, please be my guest… but I’m out.

Most of the hard-working entrepreneurs that service this wonderful area during the peak season stay open year round. While they may not enjoy the sheer number of visitors that enter their small businesses during the summer months, they still offer all the great products to local residents and visitors to the area at this time of year.

Seeing that we’re in the midst of holiday gift-buying season, below we’ve highlighted some amazing Addington Highlands businesses where you can buy unique and interesting items that everyone on your list will love to unwrap. We’ve also included some great dining options because we know it’s much less fun shopping on an empty stomach.

Whether you live in Addington Highlands or are visiting this lovely area, as you take a drive on Highway 41 we hope you’ll take some time to stop in and explore some of these fantastic small businesses.
