The township shares Highway 41 with Barrie ward of North Frontenac Township. It also shares a fire department and a major Provincial Park, Bon Echo Park. Most of Bon Echo is located in Addington Highlands, and the park and it signaurre Lake Mazinaw form the dividing line between the more populated Kaladar ward, with its four hamlets, Kaladar, Flinton, Northbrook, and Cloyne, and the spectacular landscape of Denbigh ward, with Mcchesney, Weslmkoon, Ashby and many other lakes.
