 Our Municipality has
an extremely unique White Water Provincial
Park which runs through the center of over 60,000 hectares of undeveloped, diverse
- natural Crown Lands. The Madawaska
River and several undeveloped pristine lakes and rivers flow through
the heart of our Municipality. We are also home to several
thriving Canoe/Kayak and Wilderness Adventure Industries. Rock
Hounds are never disappointed with their digs from the several
rock/quarry mines established throughout our area. Development properties are accessed by a
well maintained
secondary highway network. The positive effects of this access
is realized by the several prosperous, second generation logging
companies within our Township's geographic boundaries.
