Mazinaw Rock

Mazinaw Rock is a 100-metre (330 ft) high cliff in the Addington Highlands, just north of Kaladar, south-central Ontario, Canada. It stretches for 1.5 kilometres (0.9 mi) along Mazinaw Lake and is a landmark in the Bon Echo Provincial Park that draws the attention of many campers and cottagers.

Star Gazing Point

View the night sky as it is meant to be seen. These days, it’s not an easy task to find a patch of the clear night sky that’s not obstructed by light pollution.
But, just 37 kilometres north of Napanee the L&A Dark Sky Viewing Area (DSVA) is ready to wow you with incredible, clear views. This spot is the most southerly point in Ontario that offers a night sky experience very similar to what was available more than 100 years ago.
With ample parking and a large concrete pad for a camera or telescope setup, DSVA is perfect for anyone looking to observe the natural wonder of the stars. The viewing area is open from dusk until dawn – no registration required and admission is free!

Land o’lakes Rescue Petting Farm

This is a wonderful place full of happy rescued farm animals looked after by some of the loveliest people you'll ever meet. For a $7/person entrance fee, you get a guided tour with a big refillable bucket of carrots to feed the animals and just a wonderful experience.

Flinton Falls

This is a small man-made waterfall that has been slightly altered by the dam across its top. The waterfall is about 3 m high and 8 m wide. The bedrock is a jet-black metamorphic rock. You can get to the bottom of the falls following a short path through the bushes to the left from the fence. Very peaceful and natural looking.
