This drive is dramatic during all four seasons, but most people agree that the summer, autumn and winter months bring out special scenes and the true highlights of The Addington Highlands. The lakes are full of boaters, swimmers, and anglers and the forests are in full foliage while hikers and campers enjoy the wooded countryside. During the autumn, the leaves which turn to bright hues of red, orange, and yellow provide a dramatic backdrop to the endless number of lakes and rolling hills. The last week of September and the first two weeks of October are when the leaves are usually at their brightest. The winter is perhaps the most peaceful time in The Addington Highlands.
White snow dominates the landscape while thick ice covers the lakes.
However, the cold weather does not stop the activities. As the wildlife hibernates in a peaceful calm, ice fishing huts dot the lakes and snowmobiles navigate the trails. No matter what season, to get the most out of your drive plan on spending a full day exploring and an evening at one of the many motels , campgrounds or trailer parks . Kaladar At Kaladar, you will find a provincial plaque commemorating the construction of The Addington Road. The Addington Road was built from 1854 to 1857 by brothers A.B. and Ebenezer Perry.
