Ride, Rest, Repeat: Top Northern Ontario ATV Lodges & Cabins with Direct Trail Access

Cruising Ontario’s beautiful north country on ATV offers a thrilling adventure through scenic forests and peaceful wilderness, making for the perfect setting for outdoor enthusiasts. Then, after an exhilarating day on the trails, retreating to a comfortable cabin offers the ideal balance of excitement and relaxation. This combination of rugged exploration and restful comfort creates a memorable getaway whether seeking a break from routine or a change of scenery. ATV riding paired with cabin living delivers the best of both worlds, in my opinion, and is perhaps the best outdoor combination in existence.

Here are six Ontario lodges with awesome cabin accommodation and adventurous ATV opportunities right at their doorstep. It is the perfect storm for enthusiasts who seek wilderness adventure while also requiring comfortable accommodations. I mean, who wouldn’t want both!

Edgewater Park Lodge

Edgewater Park Lodge, located in the scenic Almaguin Highlands, is one of Ontario’s best-kept secrets for ATV riding accommodations. This resort benefits from its proximity to hundreds of miles of wilderness ATV trails. The region boasts wilderness off-roading connected to the lodge, with adjacent trails located off-the-beaten path on Crown land. After a day of riding, staying at Edgewater Park offers a variety of beautifully renovated cabins fully equipped and ready to go. This resort also has a motel onsite with wrap around deck, lounge chairs and large recreation room. ATV riding in the Almaguin Highlands is a beautiful and unique experience so come check it out!

Jolly Roger Inn & Resort

The Jolly Roger Inn and Resort near Parry Sound (birthplace of famous hockey player Bobby Orr) offers both ATV adventure and superb lodging all in one! They also have top-quality ATVs for rent, a perfect option for those who prefer to leave their machine at home. The Jolly Roger team offers safety briefings for ATV riders to ensure a fun and safe adventure for everyone. At Jolly Roger, riders take full advantage of amenities and services that are guaranteed to make your stay memorable. Amenities include the outdoor pool, indoor pool with hot tub & sauna, gym, racquet ball courts, mini golf, bicycle rentals, pool tables, on-site restaurant & bar, and most importantly, ATV trails literally running through the property. I look forward to my visit and ATV adventure here later this summer!

Another great ride, rest and repeat resort is the Mattawa Adventure Camp, which offers a Special Package Plan for ATV enthusiasts in mind. This package includes lodging with a jacuzzi tub, satellite TV and wireless internet, delicious home-cooked breakfast, three-course dinner along with free use of the ATV Cleaning Station.
