Perhaps it's time for a visit to one of the famous Group of Seven sites—like White Pine Lodge and Dreamer's Rock.
Our dynamic cities are perfect for weekend trips and packed with museums, art galleries, and restaurants. Up here we've got Nordic spas and innovative brewpubs in Timmins (along with some excellent desserts), the Canadian Polar Bear Habitat in Cochrane, the Big Nickel and a vibrant patio culture in Sudbury, innovative dining on the Temiskaming Tour Loop, diners and waterfalls in North Bay, and there's lots to explore in our historic small towns, too.
