Hilliard blends quiet country living with practical access to northern amenities, set between boreal forest, farmland, and big-sky sunsets. Minutes from Englehart and an easy drive to Temiskaming Shores and Kirkland Lake, residents enjoy short commutes, small-town services, and a welcoming rural community in the heart of the Timiskaming District.
Nature is a headline attraction here. The acclaimed Hilliardton Marsh Research & Education Centre draws birders from across the province for spring and fall migrations, hands‑on programs, and family-friendly banding demonstrations. Nearby, Kap-Kig-Iwan Provincial Park showcases dramatic waterfalls and hiking along the Englehart River, while the broader Englehart River Fine Sand Plain and Waterway offers canoeing, wildlife watching, and winter snowshoeing. Winter brings excellent sledding on well-groomed regional trails and crisp, starry nights that make backyard astronomy a favorite pastime.
Families have multiple school options in surrounding communities, including programs offered by the District School Board Ontario North East, with complementary Catholic education through the Northeastern Catholic District School Board. Healthcare, specialty shopping, and cultural events are close at hand in Englehart and Temiskaming Shores, while local producers and roadside stands keep pantries stocked with northern Ontario flavors. Housing choices range from farmhouse acreages and hobby properties to newer builds on spacious lots.
