Discover L&A County Geocaching Event | Print |

geocache_tJoin us in Lennox and Addington County for the Discover L&A County Geocashing Event.  Hosted by Lennox and Addington County Economic Development, we are excited to invite you to our community.

L&A County is located in beautiful Eastern Ontario only 30 minutes from Kingston.  Our borders stretch from the shores of Lake Ontario to Canadian Shield land to the north.  L&A County has a large rural base with many small communities giving the County a rich local flavour.  Our communities include Greater Napanee, Loyalist Township, Stone Mills Township and Addington Highlands Township.

We are planning on hiding 40 new permanent caches of varying terrain and difficulty throughout our County.  Each of these caches will help you to discover L&A County.  Find caches and discover our wonderful villages, Loyalist heritage and beautiful surroundings.
