North Frontenac Quick Facts

The Township of North Frontenac is a 1,135.75 sq km (438.5 sq mi) municipality home to over 1,900 permanent residents. In addition, there are an estimated 5,000 seasonal residents. The low density of the population (1.7 people per sq km) makes for the preservation of an amazing landscape. Also, North Frontenac is beautifully set in the heart of eastern Ontario's cottage country. For these reasons it one of the best destinations for hikers, bikers, bird watchers, cottagers and retirees in southeastern Ontario.

North Frontenac is lucky to have some of the most southerly exceptional dark skies in Canada. The darkest region in the area, known as the 'Dark Peninsula', encompasses 4 Counties, Frontenac, Lennox-Addington, Hastings and Renfrew. For millions of people in southern Canada and the north-east US, this is the best view of the night sky and the Milky that they will most likely experience.

This 'Dark Peninsula' has captured the attention of many scientists, who wish to utilize its natural darkness for telescopic surveying. If you are lucky enough to experience this natural phenomenon, then you would be familiar with the fascinating spectacles it presents, like the one in this photo taken of the Milky Way from the top of Mallory Hill.
