Austin Sawmill, Dam and Kinmount Station
Kinmount was once a hub for the north end of Victoria County and Haliburton. Located on the Bobcaygeon Road, many of the supplies for the logging shanties and mines passed through the village. As the railway replaced horse and wagon, industry reached its peak. Locomotives carried away lumber, tan bark, iron ore and several other minerals. Though it is no longer a railway town, today the rail trail is a wonderful destination for an outdoor adventure.
