Frontenac County Nature Trails
Welcome to Frontenac County!
Imagine ... a place that is just a short drive from the incessant drone and never ending pace of the city ... a place where you can take a deep breath, slow your pulse and let the stress melt away, and ... you are imagining the delightful world of The Frontenacs.
Here, you can experience life's simple pleasures by taking the roads less traveled as they meander past breathtaking vistas, pristine freshwater lakes, vast tracts of lush green forests and spectacular rock cut formations. These are the treasures that inspire the growing number of artists and craftspeople that call The Frontenacs their home.
Surrounded by some of the most spectacular, unspoiled landscape in Ontario, the Frontenacs offer visitors an array of unique, year-round travel experiences. Whether your interest is hiking, biking, birding, boating, fishing, hunting, arts & crafts, antiquing, genealogy, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, or simply getting away from it all, we invite you to Experience the Frontenacs!
We offer access to two of Ontario's premier travel destinations, the world-famous Thousand Islands, and the Land O' Lakes Tourist Region. For guests, this means an incredible range of travel experiences from which to choose.
Perhaps it's the scenic beauty and leisurely pace of life on the Frontenac Islands appeals to you?
Maybe it's the pastoral setting of South Frontenac with rolling farmland, crystal clear lakes and friendly people that has captured your imagination.
Could it be Central Frontenac, where the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield rises to cradle pristine lakes and rivers?
Or, perhaps it's North Frontenac, where magnificent stretches of uninhabited crown lands frame brilliant blue waterways.
