Welcome to Northern Ontario
Tours get in touch with nature.For a taste of pure northern grandeur, Ontario’s North offers the ultimate journey of the senses.
Covering an area of more than 62,000 square kilometers (40,000 square miles), this stunningly diverse part of the world offers more opportunities to fish, paddle, snowmobile, ski, bike, boat and bask than just about anyplace else on Earth. This region of Ontario is for the adventurous traveller in your group.
Northern Ontario also lays claim to Canada’s largest interconnecting canoe route system (the season runs from May through October), complete with all the white water your group can handle. Get in touch with majestic nature as you tour the routes of the early Voyageurs and travel back in time to the heady days of the fur trade. The annual Great Rendezvous Festival (July) re-creates those 17th-century moments in Thunder Bay, once the fur trade’s largest and busiest freshwater port.
There’s lots more history to discover in the James Bay Frontier, where the spirit of the gold rush lives on into the 21st century in the town of Kirkland Lake. A thriving gold mining camp at the turn of the century, Kirkland Lake today boasts a modern community and is known for its intriguing Museum of Northern History.
