Lanark County - Beckwith Township, is part of a series of caches I have placed throughout the 5 Townships of Lanark County. I came across this idea in part at an event that I attended in 2011.
I hope you enjoy your tour around Lanark County and seeing all that beautiful countyside it has to offer.
The Township of Beckwith boasts 243.09 square kilometres of land mass. By December 2006, the population in Beckwith Township had grown to 6,387 full-time residents. Our residents do enjoy easy commutes to centres such as Ottawa, Smiths Falls, Perth and Carleton Place.
The Township includes the Mississippi Lake and River, the Jock River, fertile farmland, wide open spaces, forests, well-planned subdivisions, protected wetlands and historical hamlets. The Township was once considered as a possible site for the Nation's capital. This historical significance rests on the importance of Franktown as the mid-way point between Ottawa and the military establishment in Perth during the initial settlement of Lanark County. Villages and hamlets within the Township include Ashton, Blacks Corners, Franktown, Gillies Corners, Prospect, and Scotch Corners.
From 1991 to 1996, the population in Beckwith Township has increased by 20.4% in an orderly and efficient manner according to our Official Plan. This ensures that residents continue to enjoy the rural atmosphere of our beautiful community. Many of our residents have their cottages and summer homes along the Mississippi Lake which provides easy access for summer recreation such as boating, camping, hiking, and great bicycle tours.
