Winter in the Wild

Northern Ontario is a place where it's easy to find some solitude and keep your distance - we have over 800,000 square kilometers of land, and only 780,000 people! If ever there was a perfect place to get back into nature, clear your mind, and reconnect with the people you love, this is it. And the best news is that it's right in your own backyard.

While we're still waiting for our borders to open, we'll keep sharing stories to help our American friends dream of their next great trip into the wilds of Northern Ontario.
