The Towns and Cities
of Northern Ontario
Sundridge - in Ontario's Near North
Located in Ontario’s Near North, this
tiny community lies a short 3 hour drive north of Toronto. Its
neighbour is the beautiful Algonquin Park and the area is the source
of inspiration for many of the works of Canada ’s Group of Seven.
The area was part of the transportation
route used by the early northern settlers and loggers used the area
lakes to transport their logs. The lakes are still important to
Sundridge. In the beginning, these lakes meant survival for the logging
industry and today their importance is now felt in the tourist industry.
Fishing, sailing, canoeing and camping
are among the more popular summer activities. The area, in winter or
summer, attracts artists and photographers from all over due to its
scenic and natural beauty. Dog sledding is enjoying a rebirth as a
popular winter activity. Many of the outfitters are able to organize
mushing excursions.
Sundridge – source of inspiration and
natural beauty.
