The Madawaska Valley is nestled beside the beautiful Algonquin Park and shares much of the majesty of its neighbour.
Local employers use the wilderness, in one form or another, to create a livelihood second to none in Eastern Ontario.
Barry's Bay, Combermere, Wilno: each a unique community, with facilities and festivities that form the basis of rural living. Residents enjoy the comforts of small-town living along with the security of excellent health and education services, and first-class amenities that would make a larger centre blush. Our commercial areas are continuously growing; from fabulous restaurants and taverns, to fully-serviced grocery chains and hardware stores to a growing forest-based manufacturing as well as a flourishing creative sector, we are the Valley that's on top of it all.
