Tourism
Dorset depends on tourism as a major contributor to the local economy. The summer months tend to be the busiest time of the year for the community as thousands of people from the Greater Toronto Area and abroad flock to their cottages. In autumn, many visitors also come to see the changing fall foliage in the local forests. Dorset's relatively close proximity to Algonquin Provincial Park makes it a prime spot for tourists. The community hosts a few restaurants, ice cream shops, a custom electronics store, a bed and breakfast as well as a general store, and LCBO liquor store.
