North And Central Frontenac Recreation Guide
North and Central Frontenac Recreation Guide This booklet was produced by the Frontenac News for the Northern Rural Youth Partnership, with the assistance from the Ontario Government through the Ontario Trillium Foundation and funds from the Townships of North & Central Frontenac. The Northern Rural Youth Partnership is devoted to developing and encouraging activities for youth in Central and North Frontenac. The partnership includes representatives from agencies, such as Northern Frontenac Community Services, the Limestone District School Board, the Ontario Provincial Police, the Townships of North and Central Frontenac and many others. At the first meeting of the Rural Youth Partnership, it was realised that not only do youth and families need more activities and events, they often don’t know what activities are available in the two townships. So, the idea of this activity guide was developed. If you know of a program or event that should be listed, please contact the Frontenac News, at 613-279-3150, or email [email protected] for inclusion in future editions of this guide.

NORTH FRONTENAC PARK LANDS is a collection of 184 backcountry campsites nestled along the shores of 12 lakes atop the Madawaska Highlands and Mississippi Valley watershed.

Residing entirely on crown land, it remains one of the most pristine natural environments in the province.
