Travelling Lanark Highlands
Sense the difference
As the name suggests, Lanark Highlands offers picturesque vistas of rolling hills and Canadian Shield topography, a geology that creates the perfect terroir for maple syrup production. Among vast forest lands, the hamlets of Hopetown, Middleville, Poland, Lavant, Flower Station, Elphin, Watson’s Corners, McDonald’s Corners and the ghost town of Herron’s Mills pepper the area around the main Village of Lanark. Abundant water bodies and beaches make for prime cottage country. Feel the freedom.
