Romancing Northern Ontario

Romantics start to visualize northern Ontario before they arrive.  If you combine a romantic Ontario getaway with your visit you can see magnificent sunsets, Tom Thompson and Group of Seven landscapes, majestic forests, thousands of fresh water lakes where you toss your line, hike a trail, or imagine Golden Eagles soaring overhead as you paddle a canoe.....a romantic northern adventure awaits.

Northern Ontario

Where is Northern Ontario?

If you think that you have been to Northern Ontario because you visited Barrie or Muskoka please do not tell a Northern Ontario resident.  If you do imply you know Northern Ontario,  you will be persuaded that you do not understand Northern Ontario, and you may be shown the back of the Official Ontario Map that delineates the locations for the real Northern Ontario.  Highway 400 North,  Highway 11 North, and Highway 17 North and West  are the major roads heading to Northern Ontario.  

When you look at the separation of Northern and Southern Ontario on the Official Map of Ontario the line runs east from the Quebec border and includes the northwest section of Algonquin Park, the towns of Sundridge, Britt, the French River, Parry Sound, the top part of Georgian Bay including Manitoulin Island, to the American border in Lake Huron, up to Sault Ste. Marie. From Sault Ste Marie, you can go strait north to James and Hudson Bay, and North West along Lake Superior to Kenora and the Manitoba Border. The geographic size of Northern Ontario presents one of the largest resort destinations in North America.

Summer North of Toronto (Northern Ontario)

There are many member locations north of Toronto that could be officially classified as being in Northern Ontario. Other than borders and boundaries, the further one heads north into northern Ontario, the better the chances are to see more wildlife, catch more fish, meet friendly and hospitable northern tourist operators and experience northern Ontario cultural and rural differences from Southern Ontario. All Ontario residents and visitors should make sure they visit Northern Ontario. See Summer North of Toronto (Northern Ontario)
