Welcome to Limerick Township
Welcome to the blue
waters of Limerick Township Ontario, Canada. Situated 80 km
north of Belleville between Madoc and Bancroft and served by highways
62 and 620. The Township which forms part of the County of
Hastings is bordered by the Town of Bancroft, Township of Wollaston
and the joined
Townships of Tudor & Cashel.
The Township is located at a height
of land, with waters flowing southward in the Trent River and northward
into the Madawaska River. Limerick derived it's name from
a city and county in Ireland and is one of the most mountainous
and heavily timbered townships in Hastings County.
Our growing tourist industry revolves
around our network of 15 sparkling lakes which provide for year
round recreational environment enhanced by such activities as boating,
swimming, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and skiing
to name a few, with accessibility made easier as both the Hastings
Heritage Trail and the historic Hastings Colonization Road run right
through the Township.
Limerick has 2 marinas,
Limerick Lake Lodge & Marina on Limerick Lake and Woodhaven
Campsite & Marina on St. Ola Lake. The township also has
3 Bed & Breakfast's: called "The
Gathering Place On Golden Pond" on the Old Hastings Road;
Bass Lake Lodge on Steenburg (Bass) Lake; and The Morton House,
in the Hamlet of St. Ola.
Trudy's General Store-gas station-postal
outlet, situated at the intersection of Hwy 62, the St. Ola Road
and the Steenburg Lake North Road is open year round and has much
to offer to everyone. Especially snowmobilers and hikers, as the
Hastings Heritage trail runs directly behind the store.
The McGeachie Conservation Area,
was graciously donated to the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority
in 1994, by Jack and Ethel McGeachie. The 358 acres of land on the
north shore of Steenburg Lake, has since been added to by another
100 acres, also donated by the McGeachie family, is blessed with
acres of wetland, a creek, beaver ponds, mature forest, nature trails
and a historic homestead that was built in the 1860's.
We have a modern municipal building
housing the council chambers, municipal offices, roads department
and volunteer fire department. Limerick is host to a very
active community centre, churches, boat launching, beaches, camping,
marinas, a local store/post office and dining. While nearby
you can find schools, hospitals, museums, medical facilities, tourist
attractions, major shopping area and much more only minutes away.
Limerick has much to offer as both
a holiday spot or as a permanent home. |
