Welcome to Powassan Ontario, "The Friendly Town". An Ojibway word meaning "bend in the river". Settlers established this community
well over a century ago, and it has prospered ever since. In 2001, the independent towns and township of Powassan, Trout Creek and South Himsworth, amalgamated to form a brand new municipality.
A walk down Main Street, takes the visitor past a hardware store, a couple of hairdressers, two pharmacies, a service station and a number of stores selling everything from sporting goods to furniture and a LCBO.
A farmers’ market is held weekly during the summer and fall, right beside the beer store, where visitors can purchase a wide variety of items including fresh garden produce, honey, home-baking, regional maple syrup, sausages and many local crafts.
Powassan is located near Lake Nipissing as well as near a vast array of small lakes, which offer excellent fishing, boating and beaches for swimming.
The surrounding area also offers many trails that are worth exploring. There is Knowlton Ridge, a multi-discipline equestrian facility on the north edge of town. Golfers have a choice of two wonderful golf courses and during the winter months, everyone can enjoy the cross-country ski trails, the Ontario Snowmobile Trail system and ice fishing on nearby lakes.
