Harkaway rests upon the quiet, rolling ridges of the Niagara Escarpment, defined by the persistent presence of the North Saugeen River. It lies 26.3 km south-east of Owen Sound, ON (from Owen Sound, ON: bearing 131°T), and is situated 10.8 km north-north-west of Markdale. The land around Harkaway holds the sturdy, unyielding character of limestone and silt, its topography rising toward the prominence of Bowles Hill. At dusk, the light here grows thin and pale, catching the movement of the North Saugeen River as it carves a slow path through the fields. Clarke's Lake sits in a hollow just 4 km away, a mirror for the shifting clouds, while the presence of Walters Falls, located 9 km distant, reminds the observer of the persistent gravity of these heights. Further afield, the Eugenia Falls Conservation Area lies 17 km away, marking the broader geography of this rugged reach of Ontario. The history of Harkaway is rooted in the hard work of those who cleared the cedar and maple to make room for small-scale agriculture. Life in Harkaway follows the turn of the seasons, where the economy remains tied to the fertility of the soil and the maintenance of the rural homestead. There is a specific gravity to the morning air here, a crispness that suggests the weight of the underlying rock. People move through their days with a steady, deliberate focus, tending to the fences and the woodlots that define the horizon. The character of Harkaway draws its strength from this isolation, maintaining a sense of self-reliance that has persisted since the first settlers arrived to work the timber and break the earth.
