Just three hours from Toronto, 1.5 hours from Ottawa, and 1 hour from Kingston, Addington Highlands is a natural playgroud for lovers of the great outdoors. The area is home to over 100 lakes, rivers and streams that are perfect for fishing, canoeing, and other water-related activities. In the winter, some of these waterways provide links to hundreds of kilometres of snowmobiling trails..
Due to its elevation, Addington Highlands is the location of the headwaters for several major water systems including the Mississippi and Madawaska Rivers that drain into the Ottawa River. In addition, Skottamatta and Joeperry Lakes are the sources for the Moira River that empties into the Bay of Quinte at Belleville.
Located in the centre of the Highlands is Bon Echo Provincial Park. Over 190,000 visitors flock to the park, and Mazinaw Rock, each year. The Rock towers 100 m (330') above Mazinaw Lake, which is 144 m (475') deep. Writings on the cliff side include 200 aboriginal rock paintings.
There are plenty of campgrounds, cottages, motels, and trailer parks in the Addington Highlands to serve the needs of the traveller. In addition, the communities of Cloyne, Denbigh, Flinton, Kaladar, and Northbrook provide the amenities that outdoor lovers require.
