Tourist and Traveler
Information for Ontario
Ontario's Near North Region
The Near North tourist area makes up the area east of Sudbury around
the town of Hagar and St. Charles, north past Temagami, east to Mattawa
, south
of Burk's Falls to include Parry Sound and Huntsville. You will find North Bay, Powassan, Sturgeon
Falls, Marten River, Trout Creek, South River and Sundridge in the
Near North. The
Near North gets it's name from it's close proximity to the large
population centres just south of this area. You will find granite
cliffs and towering white pines among the many lakes in the Temagami
area. There are sandy beaches on Lake Nipissing, and wonderful
canoeing along the Mattawa and Sturgeon Rivers. You can follow the
same routes used by the historic Voyageurs and imagine yourself
exploring this vast and beautiful wilderness.
You can visit this area
in any season and find something exciting to capture your attention.
Trail systems abound, camping or fishing both in winter and summer,
snowmobiling and dog sledding in winter, historic towns and villages
at any time, and 14+ museums, artists, and craftspeople for indoor
pursuits.
The scenery is
spectacular, the living quiet, and the fishing world class. The
people in this area are friendly and waiting to be your next new
friend.
