Algonquin Highlands

Tucked into the lake-dotted Canadian Shield of central Ontario, Algonquin Highlands is a municipality whose character is shaped by forests, exposed granite and water. The Oxtongue River and Oxtongue Lake belong to its northeastern landscape, while the township’s eastern reaches meet Algonquin Provincial Park. Summer cottages, paddling and hiking are central to life in this part of Haliburton County, where settlement is dispersed among wooded shorelines. In Dorset, the Dorset Scenic Lookout Tower, a former fire tower, is a familiar landmark and a reminder of Ontario’s forest-management history.
