A wonderful rural community located along the Trent Severn Waterway, a national historical site that was once an important route for fur traders and timber. Today, Keene is home to artists, farmers, bustling local businesses, growing families and empty nesters. 

Nestled on the north shore of the scenic Rice Lake and close to the Hiawatha First Nation's Serpent Mount Park and sacred burial ground, Keene's an agricultural community that boasts a bustling farmers market from May to October, and a pumpkin festival in late October.
