The Township of Amaranth named after the plant that grows abundantly along the borders is located within Dufferin County and surrounded by the townships of Orangeville, Shelburne, and Grand Valley. Amaranth is made up of a diversity of residents, landscapes, rivers, wildlife and wetlands that make it one of a kind. The township provides recreational activities promoting health, well-being and teaching those from outside the area about the beautiful features the township has to offer.

Luther lake offers 32km of trails, providing people with many recreational activities in the summer and winter. Canoeing, boating, fishing, hiking, and cycling are just some of the activities that are offered at the lake.
