The main road is Highway 7 which runs through the entire township from east to west. Central Frontenac Road 38 intersects Highway 7 at Sharbot Lake and runs south to South Frontenac Township, providing connectivity with Kingston.

The route of the former Kingston and Pembroke Railway runs through the township, and has been converted into the K&P Rail Trail.

On June 7, 2020, a gunman opened fire on his neighbours after lighting a building on fire in Parham. The fire spread to the adjacent historic century-old St. James Anglican church, destroying both buildings. One person was injured. The gunman was charged with attempted murder, arson and firearms-related charges.
