Elk Lake remains a uniquely preserved and undeniably beautiful slice of Northern Ontario tourism that not many Greater Toronto Area residents know about, which is a blessing in many regards. Repeat visitors covet this sprawling wilderness, as the landscape itself ushers in warm feelings of sheer tranquillity. The acreage that hugs the Montreal River, while striking, is mostly uninhabited land. Thus, the only Ontarians that you’ll cross paths with up here are either locals or guests at Elk Lake Wilderness Resort, one of the truest Northern Ontario fishing lodges. But, of course, there’s so much more to love about this region than the hungry fish that squabble underwater near the resort. During the warmest months, Elk Lake is also a magnet for ATVers, RVers, birders, hikers, and boaters of all kinds.

The Immediate Future of Northern Ontario Tourism
It’s no secret that the future of Northern Ontario tourism is a little hazy. However, if COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that we should remain loyal to our province and country. Instead of hopping into a plane and jetting to a faraway land, let’s stimulate our economy. So, for those who reside in the Greater Toronto Area, perhaps an extended break from the city into the lush, peaceful Northern Ontario wilderness is precisely what the entire family needs. Rediscover the allure of outdoor recreation while also bonding over wildlife, bonfires, boat rides, and even a spontaneous backcountry ride. Northern Ontario vacations, in their purest form, are all about exploration, spontaneity, and reawakening the kid inside all of us.
