When I first moved to this region about four years ago, people would always tell me I needed to visit Addington Highlands. I finally made the trip a year later and quickly realized I had been missing out all that time.
Throughout Addington Highlands, you’ll find one-of-a-kind shops, great paddling spots, amazing dining options, and plenty of scenic outdoor adventures. The area has a unique atmosphere, with its peaceful surroundings and rugged Canadian Shield landscape that make every visit feel like a true escape.
A trip to Lennox & Addington is never complete without a drive through Addington Highlands, so be sure to hit Highway 41 and head north!
