begin your journey
with a single step
Northeastern Ontario is a vast land of riches – both natural and cultural – that
opened a country. Deep forests, pristine rivers and lakes that contain so many
fish, you’ll have tall tales to last the rest of your life. Not to get all sentimental,
but there is something about this place that changes you.
It’s as if everyone and everything are connected, the forests, the skies, the
small towns and the cities, even the Great Canadian Shield itself. They all exist
together with the people who’ve made this part of the world home and welcome
visitors to experience that tranquility here. Take a single step in any direction,
and begin your very own legendary journey.

heart of a
When Europeans were looking
for a way to reach the riches to
the north and west, it was this
intricate network of lakes, rivers
and pathways they paddled and
portaged to the shores of Lake
Huron, Lake Superior and James
Bay and beyond. They looked
into the very face of nature and
learned from Indigenous Peoples
to become one with it.
You can do the same today.
You can embrace nature and
paddle along the same lakes and
rivers in your own canoe and
watercraft. See this incredible
country the way the Voyageurs saw
it, and how the Anishinaabe and
Mushkegowuk have seen it since
the beginning of time.

A LEGENDARY

forests teeming with abundant
wildlife and some of the best fishing
on the planet. In short, they see
Northeastern Ontario. It has been

enthusiasts whether they are hikers,
paddlers, bikers or trekkers of any
kind. Northeastern Ontario has
earned the praise and respect of
people from around the globe.
There are many ways to arrive at
the very heart of Canada. You can
paddle, sail or hike like our ancestors
did. Or arrive by highway, rail, air or
water. So bring your boats, bicycles,
or just a pair of hiking boots. It
doesn’t matter how you get here,
it only matters that you come, and
let us welcome you with open arms,
warm hearts and warm lodges and
cabins all year round.
No matter what kind of a legendary

Imagine being on the surface of
one of a hundred pristine lakes, or
standing on a riverbed surrounded
by the boreal forest in a landscape
as old as time. You cast your line,
and you feel the strike – it almost
pulls your rod from your hands.
And the game is on. You don’t
know what you’ve hooked until
it crashes through the surface,
glinting in the morning sun... then
you see the tell-tale dorsal fins
and spotted sides... you know you
could be here for a while bringing
in this catch. Whether it’s the
whizz of a reel or the snap of a fly
cast, you have found an angler’s
paradise. Northeastern Ontario is
teeming with fish, big, bigger and

welcoming visitors. Since our first contact with European explorers in 1673,
the Moose Cree First Nation People have hosted many people from many
walks of life from around the globe. The Cree time-honoured traditions
have been shared with visitors by showcasing our hospitality in food and
accommodations. Our present offerings take visitors to days of old, with
