Kinmount offers a wonderful combination of being close to major centres such as Lindsay (approx. 60 km), Peterborough (approx. 80 km), Orillia (approx. 80 km), and Toronto (approx. 190 km ) with easy access to services,  yet being far from the noise and pollution of big cities.

Kinmount is uniquely situated on the borders of three major cottage regions of Ontario – Haliburton, Kawartha Lakes, and Peterborough County. Whether one chooses to live on the shores of one of the many area lakes or rivers, on a rural property, or in one of the picturesque local towns or villages,  housing options are varied and generally less expensive than in the larger urban centres of southern Ontario.
