PERRYGateway To The Almaguin Highlands
Home » Communities » Perry
The Township of Perry is the gateway into Northern Ontario, and is the first stop on your way through the Almaguin Highlands. Perry is made up of two town centres, Emsdale and Novar. Perry is a beautiful township that offers access to the Seguin Trail, and some excellent walking opportunities along Brooks Falls, Emsdale’s picturesque waterfall. Being a close 15 minute drive from the commercial centre of Huntsville, Perry is a great place to plant your roots.
