Explore Our Back Roads

Nestled on the meandering roads of North Frontenac, you will find many Artists and Artisans who create beautiful works of art in different mediums. Adding to our little piece of paradise are the fall colours, alive and vibrant, their reflection dancing on the water of our many lakes.

We invite you to come and enjoy our ‘Back Roads Studio Tour’.

Sincerely yours,

The Artists and Artisans of North Frontenac
