Description From Owner:

• Madoc is truly 'The Heart of Hastings County'. Whether on vacation or business, visitors to the village and surrounding areas located at the junction of Hwys 62 and 7 are always impressed by its friendly townsfolk.
• In the 1800s the MacKenzie Brothers established a mill here, powered by water from Deer Creek. A settlement known as MacKenzie's Mills grew around it. For a short time it was called Hastings, before it was renamed Madoc after Prince Madoc of Wales.
• The local historical society holds regular events, including Victorian weekend tours of the village's striking mid-to-late Victorian architecture.
• Birdwatchers will want to visit the Moira River which flows through the lake, as will those interested in rare wetland plants.
• The area is interlaced with hundreds of kilometers of cross-country and snowmobile trails. A myriad of lakes provide ice fishing, ice sailing and skating opportunities.
• Visitors regularly remark on the friendly and relaxed attitude of the business community. But visitors beware! Many unwary travellers, briefly stopping in Madoc, have fallen in love with the village and ended up spending a lifetime here.
