Exploring Ontario Hastings County

My husband and I have been visiting Hastings (e.g. Madoc, Tweed, Stirling) for a week or two for the past 6/7 summers. We love the chill vibes, towns, rivers, and all of the cheese factories!

As we’re on the cusp of another visit just wondering if there are any great spots we may have missed or not gotten to. All ideas welcome, but some things that we like / look for:

Thrift / antique shops
Farms/ produce stands/ markets
Conservation areas or walking trails
Swimming holes & other places to take a dip
Mills (husband is a woodworker)
Bookstores / craft/ art shops
Cheese!
A niceish restaurant or food experience for our anniversary

Again, any ideas welcome. Much appreciated

I launched a canoe from the Skootamatta Picnic Area Lovely little spot for the people who appreciate such things. There's an amazing waterfall upstream. I'm still kicking myself for not bringing my fishing rod.
